Hi all, I need some advice on cooling for my case. I built it at xmas with some new and some newish parts. the CPU gets to 48-52°c full load but in speedfan temp2 (witch I think is cpu ambient) reaches 60°c. I want to eventually overclock the hell out of it but it seems a bit hot already.
I have a 120mm intake front bottom, 120mm back exhaust, 80mm intake on side panel, noctua c14 with both fans on and a gpu exhaust fan (not in pic). all the fans a bog standard quiet (1800-2000 rpm) fans at full speed.
What else can I do to keep temps down without spending too much (noctua set me back a bit) and without making it sound like a train? GPU makes enough noise now.
Heres a pic of my rig: -
Specs: -
Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3
AMD Phenom II X4 970 (stock 3.5ghz)
Noctua C14 with AS5
ATI 6870 1GB (stock)
8GB Gskill ripjaws DDr3 1600
OCZ 750W ModXstream
I will post a speedfan pic tomorrow, any help appreceated
