yeah mines usually not bad but I had to move it a while back due to new furniture and it doesnt have as much air space around it now so I better have a look.



as a side note, got delayed a bit there had to rescue the wife from a spider walking across the floor. ::)

It's a big black box, with excellent ventilation. :)

Post by: adamr8965 on Apr 05, 2010, 15:03:05
Is that due to you passing wind rik?
Title: Re: its that time again
Post by: Rik on Apr 05, 2010, 15:07:53
That tends to empty rooms. :)

i have been lazy recently and only realised the problem when my cpu was at a toasty 70c when making some compression work.

checked inside and the stock cpu cooler was clogged up - took it off and the thermal cr*p was literally baked =/ dodgy

cleaned it off, got some proper AS mx-2 on it, found my old zalman cooler and wapped it on - temps are now a nice 30c and sticking there  :thumb:

time for some overclocking tho
