overheating help
I built my daughter a PC last year and have never been able to solve the
overheating problems. It is an Athlon 1400 on a ASUS a7v8x board, 256Mb, CDrw & DVD the case dimensions are (DxWxH)mm 476x185x443 (cheap case from) http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...vd19wcm9kdWN0X 292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=44509 It has a Thermaltake Silent boost with Arctic Silver 3 An exhaust fan. I cut out the mesh on the back of the case and installed a wire grill as I felt previously the hot air was bouncing off the mesh and back into the PC. I have an 80mm fan at the front / bottom but when I have it running it increases the CPU temp and decreases the Motherboard temp. Disconnected it decreases CPU and increases MB temps. MBM shows the temps with the bottom fan connected sometimes as high as CPU 70, MB 32 not under full load. With the fan disconnected it shows CPU 62, MB 40 again not under load. This is all with the side of the case partly off. The PC is in the corner of the room which is really the only place she can have it. I don't think that is helping as the hot air has no where to go. The set up was improved after I added the Silent Boost to it just before Christmas but gradually it is getting worse. It has now got to the point where it freezes occasionally. The fans are all blowing the way they should and the Silent Boost is positioned correctly. Can anyone give me some ideas? I thought maybe the cheap case wasn't helping but am reluctant to shelling out a lot of cash to find it doesn't help. If it was guaranteed then it would be no problem. cheers Steven. |
