Hey guys, this is my first thread on this forum and I am having some serious cooling problems. My computer is an AMD +3200 Venice Core, Gigabyte K8N Pro SLI mobo, 2x 512MB corsair value ram, EVGa 7800gt (PCIe of course), a seagate 200GB drive (all I remember is it runs 7200rpms), 24x Sony DVD-Rom drive, and a ATX case with the 420w power supply that came with it. As for cooling, I have a coolmaster aqua gate mini 80mm. I only have one 80mm case fan and I should have more but i haven't gotten around to buying any yet. My room stays in the mid 20s C and my PC stays on the floor, but my computer is getting to 70C at load and idling at 41 . I bought the PC from Ibuypower.com and after multiple shipping probelms (as well as they sticking the ram into a dead slot. . ) I don't think I'm ever even reccomending anyone visit their website. From reading online about the components I have, I know it should not be reaching these temperatures.If you guys could give me some tips or lead me into the right direction as to what I should do to cool this easy bake oven I would greatly appreciate it.
I also am willing to spend a few hundred on new components.
