hi all,
im running a p4 478 3.4ht
abit vt7 board
1 gig ddr400
x1600pro 256mb
two wd hd`s (80g+200g)
two optical drives
my case is an aopen q150 i think
i came with a 300 watt power supply but i was having heating and freezing issues so i bought a raidmax 450w psu with 12cm fan, but i find it loud, for the case i added a 12 cm antec rear exhaust and took off the air guide on side. no place for fan in front.
i also bought a zalman cnps 7700, man thing is huge but it keeps pc idle at 36 or so with the thing on 900rpm,
ok so first thing is 450 enough?
my board has fan plugs for cpu, sys and aux1/2 but i dont see exhaust fan in bios unless i put it under aux. i would like to be able to turn down the speed of the rear fan also, are there any programs that could allow me to do that or would i best be to get a controller for front of case for that? also now that i have zalman, should i put a small slow turning fan on side where vent was? would it help? i would like to overclock but not sure up to what i can, havent tried yet.
ty all
