Ways To Keep Your Computer Cool !

[Knufire]

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

I was about to reply with the ATX spec...then I noticed who posted it.

So close!

Multimeter says 12.30, amusingly even further away from 12V than 11.76. Yay for software screwups! HWMonitor says 5V is 4.980, multimeter says 5.14.

Clearly this P67a-UD4 is a bit out to lunch.
Admittedly it's killed it's onboard NIC twice now, and has been under dry ice maybe a dozen times and 5.1 to 5.4GHz on air a similar number. I suppose it's earned the right to creatively read the voltage.


To be fair to the OP, cleaning the dust (cat hair, pollen, cement dust. My house has horrendous dust, living next to a cement factory is not recommended) out of your computer is a good idea. The rest are good ideas sometimes.

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

Now I get it, "case fan" wow, we really r noob.

Thank you oh great and mighty OP

they aren't rainbow.

I don't believe I've ever seen a single pair of rainbow-colored sunglasses in my entire life. Ever.

and it was a my little pony reference anyway.

I hate horses.

Ponies are not horses per se...though they have hooves, and RD would def make a pc 20% cooler.
