I made this post a week or so ago; http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/253047-31-upgrade-good-idea
I've gotten all of the parts, set it all up, and I'm currently using it to type this. This is the first computer I've had to worry about over heating, so I have no idea what to do about it. When I was putting it together the case had two spots for 2 80mm fans, so I bought those and they're currently being shipped to me.
I've been playing a couple games that haven't been too demanding and they run fine, but I installed Devil May Cry 4 and started playing and the PC Prob II that the motherboard software came with and it started yelling at me with the mother board light flashing red. I can only assume that's not good and quickly closed DMC. Everything went back to green after closing it and all good(i hope).
So the two front 80mm fans will be added soon, but I don't know exactly how much that will help. On top of that I'm not exactly sure what good temps should be. Just sitting here it says 41°c for the CPU and 41°c for the motherboard. The motherboard started yelling at me 46°c. The only 'cooling' I have at the moment is the one fan at the back, the fan on the video card, and the heatsink dealio. Oh and some random cone/vent thing on the side panel. Did I get a terrible case? Will the 2 front fans work for what I need? Is there something else I can get that isn't too hard to install?
