Hi,
Im new to this whole computer forum and I was wondering what the best method was to cool off the case. I have all of the stock cooling parts but i would like to get it as cool as possible. I am on a budget, so the cheapest method would be best for me.

CPU: AMD 64 3500+
MOBO: A-bit KN8 SLI
RAM: Patriot Signature Series 2x 512mb
GPU: nVidia GeForce 7800GT
 
Giving us a link to a pic of your case would be nice but I think if you're on a budget then the best option for you is to just buy some more case fans.
 
Well, you can get:

New, more powerfull case fans
Better CPU Cooling (I reccomend a Thermaltake Big Typhoon)
Better GPU Cooling (Arctic Cooling system)
Tidy case wires to allow extra airflow
Buy a bigger case, more air to get in there
Watercooling

And for extreme measures, phase cooling, which brings your CPU to - 20C temps

However, I would just recceomend:

Case fans
Better CPU Cooling
Better GPU Cooling
Tidy case wires
 
well depending on ur budget. the coolest u culd get is water cooling. but if u dont plan on extreme overclocking dont get watercooling.
 
the stock cooling on that CPU is pretty dang good, I run in the low to mid 30s with nothing but the stock HSF and some AS5. I think the highest I have ever seen is 42.

now my GPU on the other hand has been known to exceed 100C on many occasions...it needs some help.

Are you planning on overclocking i assume?
 
What should be a good idle temp, my case probe says that its about 30 degreese celcius. Is that any good?

Right I have watercooling as you can see in my sig, I want the best I can get for my temps to be very very low and no noise.

At moment believe it or not my watercooling in inside of a small fridge!!!!!

Is there anyone with a BETTER ideal, money no prob, but I want it silent the fans I do have are all silent x.
Any help would be welcomed!!!!!.

With drawing or anything or just say what I could get to be better!!!!!!!!!!!

*points to sig* yup sure do, its passively cooled with a heatpipe setup is the reason it gets so freaking hot, if i ever decide to OC it ill have to get a cooler for it.

A good air cooling system will work the same as a water cooling system, the only difference is the fan is louder.

The cheapest way is to upgrade the fans in your case.

read his sig x800xl
actually just to inform you, the x800xl runs at the default speed, 400mhz... (ramdac = 400mhz)
AND unlike the x800xt or the x850xtpe... or other x800s or x850s, it uses .11micron rather than .13micron, giving off MUCH less heat... also the ram isnt that high clocked for gddr3 either.

yea get a cooler for it, thats running too hot for an x800XL

oh, and a suggestion for the case cooler thingyy...
try hooking up an air conditioner, or if you live in a cool climate you could hook a tube up to outside and feed cool air into your case :)
