What should I do with my cooling system?

I'm planning to upgrade another gsu into my rig & run it in crossfire. Along with that it requires me to get a different psu so my system can stay stablized. Now i'm wondering if I'll need to upgrade my cooling system with the other upgrades that I hope to perform near by. Can I get a link to a program to det. my temps for my cpu's and etc... ? I've only got BF2 to work with, yet it still should make some kind stress into my computer yet it sounds pretty quiet when I run BF2. But then again, i'm adding another gsu and upgrading my psu. Seems like less room and more power is put into my chassis. I really don't know how gsu's work in crossfire and how much work they cause & how much energy the psu uses and all. So a helpful tip & program to det. my computers temps. could steer me into the right direction. Pre-built computer...
 
Okie Dokie,

I'll get on this program tomorrow.

Got a big night tomorrow.

I'll run the program with computer on idle and then after an hour of some serious gaming stress to check whats going on and what i'll have to do with my cooling system.

Other then that can anyone predict a cooling system upgrade that I might need to consider ?
 
I have 2 fans from what HWMonitor tells me

One running at 1313 RPM &
One running at 1595 RPM

MY GPU temps. For my ATi Radeon 4870 are

58 C Value
58 C Min
59 C Max

ACPi Temp.

21 C Value
20 C Min
25 C Max

MY processor temps (Celcius) run at

Core 0 37 ---37--- 42
Core 1 34 ---34--- 40
Core 2 39 ---39--- 47
Core 3 32 ---30--- 38
--------Value-Mix-Max-------
 
My case is pretty big and the two fans that it shows on the HWMonitor are my PSU & GPU Fan ? Or is there an actual individual fan in the computer. It is pre-built and I have yet to open the case.

The two system fans are your case fans, i don't think it lists CPU and GPU fan speeds in there.

it does list the CPU fan speeds

best way, just open your case and find out. Dont be lazy and expect us to figure it out.

anything on the actual case (not the Mobo) is a case fan.
 
So i'm guessing those temp. are alright. Yet these are without the modifications. Plus im getting a different modification plan. Just upgrading to a better gpu.

How is there another way to put maximum stress on my computer without a video game.

And if the temps are a bit to high an reccomended that I need to tun them down a bit. What is the best possible way to getting that better cooling that I need. Modification of the fan size and case or just a new case ?

K nvm just got Crysis, i'm gunna have to give her a test, but I don't want to blow anything. Once again, Are those tempertures fine ? & Is two Fans enough ?
