hello guys, i have two, well actually 3 things i would like to address my felow o/c here.
basicaly i have just upgraded from a FX5600 to a XFX6800GT -may i just say WOW!......anyway since i have put this in, my temps have gone up alot, i used to idle around 6-7C above case temp, now its gone up to 14C, at load it seems only to go up another 3C which is not bad (36C case, 50C idle 53C load)
i don't have pics yet, but will do later on, don't know where digi cam is yet, but basicaly my 6800GT sits right below my SI-97 with zalman fan with about 2-3inches gap, now the air in that regon is heated alot from the graphics card, which has made my CPU temp rise.
to be sure of it, i took side of and have office fan blowing at it, and now case temp it 35C and cpu is 39C idle -thats after about 4 mins of doing so. so obveolsy what i want to do is to find away to cirulating the air in the case much better. i have very strick budget of maximum total 35 pounds....70ish dollars i guess as im off to uni in a few weeks, but want this problem sorted before i go (taking it with me) , when i post picks i was wondering if u thought my case was messy -some wires are but i can't move them around at the moment -too short
and also, how often do you guts replace the AS5 on your CPUs, ive been going fine since juneish time, but would it be okay if i left it untill next june for a resit?, or should i do another (i get my mum to do it, as i can't seem to have a steady hand, she did textiles and is really smooth at doing it)
and ive fogoten the other thing
cheers, ile post picks soon
