Well I suspect I am not getting optimal cooling for the cpu and video card overclocking I plan to do soon... My case has 2 rather large hols on each side of the case with no fans and are closeable. I have an 80 mm Tornado as an exaust and a front 80 mm generic slow (when i say slow I kean slow hardly and flow) as a intake at the front bottom of the case, this is not really intake because there is no actuall opening in the front of the case so I would need to do some cutting and modding to get a good flow hole there... Thos eare all the mounted case fans I have then I have 2 case fans sitting on the bottom of the case blowing up at the video card and what not, they are just there for my old MX440 that I had OCd to the breaking point on stock cooling. I am suspecting my case cooling could be better so what do I need to do to get better airflow over the needed areas of the case or case as a whole..
Here are my heat generating components:
ASUS K8V SE Dx Mobo
AMD64 3200 Hammer
BFG 6800 Ultra(gotta check make shure fans on tight lol)
My mobo temp reader says its about 30-32 C and my CPU is only about 2 C hotter acording to mobo/cpu temp readers...
I may end up putting a little better NB Chipset HS/F on my NB(see other post)
Even though I am new to this overclocking I want to get good cooling to push my system to as far as it can go on air
Thanks for the help as cooling seems o be the OCers biggest obstacle...
