Hey
I was wondering if you could help me with how to get my temps down
they are
CPU IDLE 35
CPU LOAD 45/46 (maybe higher)
GPU IDLE 37
GPU LOAD 47
HARD DRIVE 37 !! (now at 33 with little use)
To my case i have removed restrive fan grills and (badly) ducted the cpu from a side panel cutout and cardboard (it did get temps down )
i have a thermaltake 120mm exhaust fan with a 120mm exhaust in the PSU, i have put a Nexus Disktwin on my hard drive and a old cpu heatsink(i have many of these) on the top but the temperature is still high
I have no intake fans though but there is a large hole (where there is room for 2x80mm fans ) where is suspect air is bieng intaked
Finally , at the top of my case is an 80mm blowhole in which when i hold a tissue over it , the tissue gets pulled down slightly , but i do have a peice of wood that a long time ago i made to cover this hole which i could use if i needed to block it
I know this is dragging on but final point is by my GPU the pci brackets are all gone and my case also has lian-li style air vents(maybe i should cover these for air pressure or something?)
and my cabling isnt the best but its not really restrictive (apart from the MATX connector which sits ontop of the CPU cooler )
Thanks a lot
