Ways To Keep Your Computer Cool !

Yay, I want a moving computer, propelled by a SINGLE case fan as he suggests.
Maybe a hovercraft case mod thing...cool, and stock clocked for uber coolness, and a wireless psu superglued to my desk.

Wow your comp would be full of coolness. Would never worry about heat again.

This is why you don't get drunk and post on Overclockerz

 

[wagex]

Hos other posts, at least one, appear normal...

yea thats part of the reason i was thinking it could not be

 

[Tech Tweaker]

you guys might be surprised that if you stop overclocking that your cpu will run cooler. try it, i did one time, it was terrible got way too cool for my liking.

ROFL

Never heard of a CPU being too cool.

Maybe Im just picky, but the broken English is just not sitting right for me.

the op is IT...

 

[Desync]

Where is OP? Was just having a lil fun. Hope he didn't go all emo or something on us.

He is Italian? Where does it say that?

 

[ivanlabrie]

I meant it...as in, you know:

 

[Desync]

So that clowns Italian? ^

 

[Pylet Lyght]

Well.. Pennywise (the clown from IT) was acted by Tim Curry.. but hes an English actor..

 

[Desync]

So who's Italian then? If OP isn't and the clown isn't.

I seen AJ with his Italian build log tho, so his comp is IT?

Add more fan they say ?

Now we could get that working with the wheels or the hovercraft. MORE FANS!

Bingo! That's the actual meaning of the construct "case fan"...case-fan.
We were so blind!

 

[Pylet Lyght]

Question is, positive or negative case pressure...

Computer cooling is necessary to eliminate the waste heat shaped by computer components, to keep gears within permissible operating temperature limits.
Here are some ways to keep your computer Cool.
Run Your PC With the Case Closed.
Clean Your Computer.
Move Your Computer
Upgrade the CPU Fan.
Install a Case Fan.
Stop Overclocking.
Replace the Power Supply.

I did that when I was 22 years old back in 1980. Thanks for the important update.

Funny thread hu? I guess a new PC person had a 'light bulb' moment and thought he was changing the world. Awaiting more funny replies to this. Bring it on........

An easy trick that is often overlooked is to turn off the "smart fan" settings or at least change them to more sane values.

Sure you have! Just not in reference to an air cooler perhaps

Up until recently most Intel CPUs could be too cool and stop working even!
Admittedly that was at around -110°C....
Pre-Phenom II AMD stuff tended to get "too cool" at a much more reachable -20 to -50.... You could hit that benching outside with a solid copper (no heatpipes, they strongly dislike <0°C) heatsink and a Fan.


I don't actually have any idea what kind of CPU temps I'm running right now, should I check?
I cleaned the CPU heatsink with my vacuum cleaner a couple days ago, should be OK.


Update: I checked, at full load I'm running 39-48°c core temps on my 2600k. I don't think I've OC'd enough. That's with 1.284 CPUz vcore too. Low leakage chip is low leakage I guess.

Hey should I be concerned that my 12V in HWMonitor is 11.760? That doesn't sound like 12V to me.
