Need advice cooling several PC parts......
Hi everyone!
We`re in summer, and the PC temps are sky high... I`m trying to cool down my my Powercolor X800GTO card, and my case temp. THIS IS MY POWERCOLOR CARD Can you help me to find a good cooler that fits the card? Regarding the case temp, it`s currently 42º. Somewhat high. I have 2 exhaust fans, 1 is below the PSU, and one in on top of the case. Both exhaust hot air, but it seems it isn`t enough. Any suggestions to cool my system down? PD. Ambient temp here in Mexico is 103º F :hotbounce :hotouch: |

103F...ouch!
your case temps are fine. 42C = 107F which is not much more than your ambient air temp. that's about as good as you're going to get where you live. Last edited by KingCody; 06-21-2006 at 10:41 PM.. |

Thanks for the response!
Yeah, it`s VERY DAMN hot here in Cd. Juarez! I guess the temps are "fine", but I would prefer to lower them a bit. I sounds a little impossible, because my room temp is currently 92º F!! I`m a bit worried about my video card. I heard they run hotter than the CPU`s, so I`m trying to decide for this cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186129 I just wonder if this is better than the stock cooler, and it it will fit in my card.... |

when a CPU hits 55c it's time to start worrying, when a GPU hits 55c it's time to celebrate ![]() about that arctic cooler, i couldn't tell you if it will fit or not, but you can't beat that price! (but newegg doesn't ship to mexico )

Thanks for your responses!
Fortunately, I can recieve packages from Newegg.com in El Paso, TX! Well, I`ll try to contact Arctic cooling and ask them directly. Too bad my card doesn`t have a temp sensor built-in. Anyway, the card should be cooler using the aftermarket cooler, because stock coolers are crap. I`ll see what happens... |
