Summer is about to start here in Portugal and the region i live in gets hot and i mean really hot, 40º celsius minimium most days.

I have a Collermaster Storm Stryker that i recently adquired and so far it has performed quite nicely , i have a swiftech 220 to cool the cpu but thats it, the rest of the case has the default fans on the front and back.

Ambient temperature has been around 18-26Cº

I know nothing about overcloking so i use the OC program from my board (a z77 G65 gaming) even with that on it still has decent temperatures, but will it be enough to endure the summer?!

Any help/tips are apreciated, thanks a lot

check out your highest temperatures using msi afterburner for your gpu and core temp for the cpu and see how high they get when loaded in a game or benchmark.

Then we can see how much higher they could potentially be when the ambient temp rises.
