So, I currently have the HP touchsmart 520-1030 PC. It's originally designed to run with its crappy HP Graphics Family 1000 or something, but using some of the parts from an HP 7320 Elite, I was able to install an Nvidia Geforce 540m. It's great and all, but I realized that it's reaching 90 degrees a bit too often during games. My solution was to run the CPU fan, (which by the way, cools both the CPU and GPU heatsinks) all the way up to 100%, until I realized that the cruddy HP BIOS had no way of controlling the fan speed. So the way I see it, I have 3 options
1. Find some sort of aftermarket part or extension card that I can plug the cpu fan into to control its speed.
2. Find some compact water cooling rig that can attach to an MXM card, and maybe be able to upgrade to an i7 or something.
3. Take apart my fish tank and buy some mighty putty, and work from there.
Please, if you have any suggestions go ahead and post them. I do have some space to work in inside the case, so watercooling isn't impossible.
