Let's have a bit of a survey... What processor have you got, what speed is it running stable at and what temperature? I'll start the ball rolling: Intel Celeron 800, 1003Mhz, 37 Celsius Idle - 61 Celsius Under Load (Torture Tested) Fly
1.4gig Tbird AHYJA Stock Speed (need it stable for my work, cant afford to bugger my cpu) 41 idle 43-46 load (after 2 hrs Dod and in a warm room) case is so packed the 6 case fans dont help much with a case temp of approx 28-31. If someones got some webspace - ill take a pic later and show you what i mean by packed!
1gig AXIA Y (I think!) @1.4 (10.5x133 - does 145x10 but I like things cool) runs at 37*C and goes to 39*C load (ACPI turned off!). Cheers, r. Edit: In my case (juno p3) you will find, An IBM 60GXP 40GB, Samsung 30Gb hdd, Samsung 12 DVDrom, 20x burner (uses 25watts!!), gf2 ultra, 100Mbit ethernet card, TV card, SB Player 5.1... all of which produce a lot of heat I have three case fans, all 2.5W ys-tech 80mm's (2 in, one out), a slot cooler, an 80mm fan strapped atop my ThermoEngine and a small 60mm mounted at a strange angle keeping the air moving around my ram and the hot stop by the gf2 ultra...
Amd T-bird 1ghz@1.3 Golbalwin 802 37C idle (was 50c b4 alipuk cleand my pc ) 40+ load note i do have 2x 120mm sunon fans on the side of my case
T-Bird 1.0 (unknown code - bought from OCS as 'guaranteed to 1.15+') 1.10 (stable) 1.15 (not at all stable) Taisol742 idle 31 load 44 with delta@7000rpm: idle 27 load 38
AXIA @ 1.4ghz Taisol 760 No extra cooling; Idle 30c Load 45c (roughly!!) With extra cooling (from fans); Idle Load ...........this is with four HDDs (2x60gxp's [RAID 0], a 75gxp and another older IBM), its quite amusing sometimes when the system is actually hotter than the cpu!!
here's my over-packed 802 case. I think ill need a 400/350W PSU soon cause i need to hook up the redundent Harddisk, cooler and Cathode.
i think so. from what i remember its pretty nutz But with 6 blinkin fans there's almost no air flow through it and ive got 30C case temp?????
Hmm... I take it you've tried amillion different combinations of which ones blow and suck? The only thing is ducting... get the hot air from that cpu of yours outa ya case asap... r.
Whats that anodised blue thing in the top right corner of your case ? just above the cd / hardrives ?
Yup 8, but 6 are case cooling. The blue thing is a harddisk heatsink from maplins. Its called: "the ultimate harddisk cooler" and encorporates 2x evercool 40mm fans and a big blue alu heatsink that is pressed onto the top of the harddisk by springs. Sorry about the crap 2nd pic, its dark under my desk. Blowholes dont work, i dont like them, and when ive tryed them before they've only buggered things up soz Ive got it in the best combo, side and front "in" and rear and top "out".
Super! post a pic of the inside of your case pls... Athlon TBird 1Ghz @ 1Ghz case = 24c, cpu = 40c, ( getting a new cooler )
As requested.............. First a piccy of its butt............. .......and secondly an old one of the innards...... .............enjoy - I do !!!!!
Ahhh, nice case mate, cheese told meh that the side can hover, I had my doubts, but now I see the light! LOL
