krayzie · Jan 17, 2013

Hi Guys

currently my CPU is at 85c and inside my case its 54c and teh GFX cards are at 41c

my setup is

i5 2500k NOT over clocked

8GB of G.Skill rip jaw... 2x4GB not over clocked

120GB crutial SSD

2x Seagate 1.5TB HDD

xfired 6950's

i have a antec 1200 case

i guess it doesnt help that its going to be 41c in sydney today

but i feel like i need to do some better cooling. i was thinking about cooling cpu and the 2 gfx cards aswell

what do you guys recommend?

What cooler do you have currently?
Your case could do with more airflow if it's really 54c in there IMO.

The GPUs can't be 41 if the inside of the case is 54.

im getting that data from the CCC as well as speed fan

sorry system is 34c

Is that idle or with load?

Come one Krazy, a pic with no description about your conditions is NO help.

It's science, we need data.

It's long distance troubleshooting for us. Unless you really think about it and take the time to read and post a fully really deep post, we are at a loss.

Meaning we get tired. We want to help but we ain't Harry Potter. Learn, read help us help you.

Or, you could buy me a plane ticket and $500 a day to figure it out.

We is free. Free means we don't have to help either.

You're using stock cooling and none of your cores are close to 85c. Is the that screenshot even of your system on load?

I am also confused by this. Where are you getting steady 85c readings? We need a lot more information and DATA!! We do not like to guess around here, doesn't match well with thousand dollar rigs.
