One of my friends is running his new gaming rig, but getting really hot temperatures from his CPU.
His setup:
C2D E6700 2.66Ghz 1066Mhz FSB
MSI P6N 680i Mobo
2GB Sli ready OCZ RAM
Coolermaster Stacker 832
2 x E-VGA 8800GTS "superclocked"
Hiper 580W Type-M PSU
He's got one 120mm fan bringing air in past the hard disks, one 120mm exhausting on the back. Then on the side panel, 2 120mm fans taking air in at the top, and 2 taking it out on the bottom. Using the stock CPU cooler.
It runs perfectly stable, but Idles at around 52º-55º! I would have thought with the case being as MASSIVE as it is, and the amount of cooling he's got it would be running at much less than that! A lot of people overlock it and get lower temperatures!
Anyone got any ideas on what the problem might be?
Thanks, Joe
