Bigger Case = Better Cooling

[Chris9990]

Not sure if this is the right forum so sorry if it is.

I currently have a Phillips HEPC7602. Just like a computer you would get at PC World. Recently it's been getting a little hot, i have cleaned it btw.
I'm just wondering if getting a new and bigger case with more fance would help the temperature?

check if u can add more fans in the case. usually there is one or two slots left for additional fans by user's desire. if not, bigger case is always better.

yes a bigger case with good air flow will help temp.

Whats overheating? The CPU or the GPU? What are your temperatures? Use a program like SpeedFan and post your temperatures please: http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php. Typically, GPU's can run as high as 85-90c safely. CPU's can run safely at 60-65c on full load, 32c-50c on idle, these numbers are still dependent on what the factory specs are for the temperature limits (aka the real numbers depend on the equipment).

SpeedFan is horrible it's super unreliable CPUID HWmonitor is much more acurate

Lol wow fine use that software, the point being that you need something. Its not THAT unreliable.

It rated 10 C below CPUID HwMonitor and randomly fluctuated temp readings by 18 C it is pretty unreliable, I also have heard of several people with this problem with SpeedFan
