Really high temps

mrbagrat · 01-29-2006, 07:39 PM

My computer hardware generally idles at super high temps- around 60-70C. I am worried about something frying (as will probably happen) so does anyone know of a case with a good airflow and cooling system and of a good liquid cooling system? So far I have looked at

for the liquid cooling and

and

for the cases. I am either looking for a case with a decent PSU (check my sig) for 75-100 USD or a 50-75 USD case and a 30-40 USD PSU.

I wouldnt jump from stock to water cooling. I would get some better case fans and a new cpu fan.

I bought a thermaltake sonic tower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106056 , and it droped my cpu temps almost 30C. I used to run up to 76 under load and now temps don't get over 48C. This one is all copper and is even better than the one I have now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106044

Thermaltake Big Typhoon rules over all. In both performance & size. Its huge, so make sure you have enough room for it.

yerrr they do seem very high. p4 will cut out at 75 usually for safety.

ive got a p.4 3ghz northwood, 4 case fans and a aerocool cpu cooler and i idle at about 35

tidying ure wires is a good start!

thanks for all the replies. I may get the SonicTower. However, I need devices like this for all my components. Will any of the cases forementioned be big enough to house the SonicTower? If not , can anyone recommend one that is big enough & with good cooling?

that sunbeam is pretty dam large, it should be able to fit that in there. and i recommend buying at least one fan for the tower heatsink as well. the sunbeam is a great cooling case just seems to be a bit loud but a fan controller should turn down the 80mm fans a little which is probly the reason for the noise.

mrbagrat · 01-30-2006, 01:24 AM

Ok, I'll do that. Does anyone know of the quality of the PSU?

icemakr · 01-30-2006, 05:44 AM

Yeah if you get the sonic tower be sure to get a 120mm fan to put on it.
