My tower for my pc is fairly warm, i was just wondoring do you think i should do something about it... i think my pc only has 1-2 fans, should i invest in another 3 fans? or get water cooling or what? if i decide to get 4 fans, should i get a crazy ass thermal controll thing for my tower? im tottaly oblivious to what to do. :( help!
 
Not an easy one to answer beings you did not mention just how warm it was :-). If your not overclocking then water cooling is never necessary really. If you want a more silent pc then the water cooling would be a good idea but really all you need is a few case fans and clean the wires up so you get a nice airflow through your pc. Also dont remove the sides as this can lead to overheating.
 
You can greatly help the cooling of your system with the addition of 1 or 2 more case fans. The residual heat that you feel could be due to a lack of airflow in the case.

You will find that the CPU temp can drop as much as 5-10 degrees with proper case cooling alone.
 
umm?

im not sure of the exact tempreture, but its not like a burn your hand hot, just like a warm hot. lets just say, my compis black, and it is buy a wood stove (in a cubard in my desk). but just to finalize. is it worth getting another 2 fans, and if i do should i get a thermal control unit for my tower?
 
Move it away from the wood stove. That's most likely your problem. As for the fans... the more the merrier. If the added noise of two fans is a concern, then get a controller. Personally, I'd rather have all my case fans running at full power all the time.

Ouch :-).. move er away from that stove ;-). Also the color has nothing to do with it as black is only a concern for heat if it sits in the sunlight or somthing :-).
 
...

as it is now, it cant be moved from the stove. thats the point, what kindof cooling should i consider? for under 50-100$
