Hello again

computer in my sig is the one i built with you guys help and geoff. Im asking you guys for your help again, this computer creates so much heat in my room, that even the AC wont help it, and anyways my computer has been outdated because ima gamer.

I was thinking to get 1333mhz ram, and the new mobo(790i?). and this time just use 1 video card for less heat creation. and i had an eye on the 12mb 2.66 quad core processor.


any advice would help , if anyone would post me links straight to what i should order, would help alot, NewEgg works!

thank you in advance

i would recommend buying an antec twelve hundred
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043
and putting a side fan in

or this is the case i use. it works very well for the price. i just put in two 120mm fans (on the side panel and front).
sunbeam freezing storm:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811166038

also, buy a arctic cooling freezer 7 pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134&Tpk=freezer+7+pro

my core idles at 2 degrees celcius according to SpeedFan and never passes 20 under any load.
this fan is probably the best i ever used. and i paid 110 for my last one.

as i type this, i am listening to music with itunes, downloading movies with limewire, running steam, AIM, and three other browsers: my core temp is 8C. the other temps Speedfan reads (confusingly marked as temp1 and temp2, which i am assuming are the exterior of the package, are currently at 23 and 25. ive never seen either pass 30C.
i am running it on a gigabyte ga-m4sli-s4 mobo with an Athlon 64 x2 5000+ 2.66ghz that has not yet been o/c-ed.
