Hot under the collar

[Blueacid]

My CoolerMaster is really s*** at cooling my non-overclocked Tbird 1.3 (Idle 55c, Quake III gets it to a max of 65c... :mad: ) Also, my room temps are around 24c without the PC on, but after an hour or so, even with the window wide open, they're up to 28c or higher!
I was wondering abt. Watercooling, or something that'd help me cool the room down. I'm only 14, and earn some £30 a week doing paper rounds (Come on, It bought a 1.3Ghz Athlon, Watercooling will be nothing) so nothing more than around £100.
I live in England, so outside temps are from 5c to 25c (ish)

Cheers!

it would be WAY simpler to use a good heatsink and thermal compound.... something like an SK6 would be perfect its £33 with a delta fan from www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk

also make sure your case is well ventilated as it can make a huge difference!!!

Coolermaster are not good (I'm sure you know this by now) i have a Tbird 1.4ghz and had a coolermaster *amd approved* that will support a 1.4ghz *or future cpus* and i couldnt even keep the cpu at 1.3ghz, i had to underclock it and lower the voltage even more.
So bottonline try spend $10-15 more than what you spent on burning master errr. i meant coolermaster and get your self a nice heatsink such as a Thermalright SK6, Global win or just browse around and read articles on HSF "BUT GET ANOTHER HSF" ;)

Good luck

Like I tell everyone with temp problems get a Comair Rotron for only $8.95 online" and the push 235 cfm. it will cool your system no matter what HS you have on it.
