With 90F+ Degree weather last week and no air conditioning and having my room being built outta part of the attic, It is very miserable up in my room. that is where my 2.4 is located.
In late spring I replaced the stock cooler with one that dropped my cpu temp by about 4c. But this summer heat is pushing the limit on my only operating cruncher. Over the course of a day the cpu temperature rises slowly from 48c to 57c under load and overnight I open all the windows and crank up the fans which cools the processor back down to 48c in the early morning. Its gotten to the point where this week I have been shutting down my computer at noon cause the seti times become rediculus when the thermal throttling kicks in at about 59c.
Of course it probbally woulden't get that hot if i wasen't trying to do a little gaming and 3d rendering and mp3ing and setiing at the same time
