1 dvd player
1 cdr burner

asus p4p 800 se

my temps right now with edonkey running are 41 case 44 cpu

not sure if thats good or not

in bios my cpu shows at 117f

which seems hot but motherboard monitor in windows gives the aforementioned numbers

anyway on with the issue
Antec TRUE430 ATX 430W Power Supply - Retail

Is it the psu that is making to noise or vibrations on the case. If it is vibrations on the case try tightening the connection or packing it with an insulation material. If it is just the psu, I ain't got a clue, so make yourself a brew, and try not to be blue.
 
lol
i just took it out and put in the little grill thing that comes with the main board that all the connectors go through like usb and monitor and mouse and keyboard and now it seems a little quieter so maybe i just shoudl have put that in a long time ago im at 43 cpu and 34 case
i just ordered 15 fans from new egg for under 20 $

I have 4 internal fans in the case and then 1 on the video card and 2 on the pSU

i have room for 3 more so im going to put them in and then see if i can cut the case to put a few more
i feal like 43/34 is too hot

my case s slowly creeping up in temperature as i typethis and i think the psu fan is just getting louder and louder as it tries to work harder to get the heat out

so im going to preempt it and get the heat out first

iim now at 42/35

is that normal?
 
maybe around 70f or 68 f

I think its just a bad case design cause i dont see how i can get enough fans in the damn thing

case

whats my options?

I already have the 4 fans bolted up in the front panel of the case
i need the 2 for the side panel still
and then theres a 50mm in the back i ordered too
 
ok i got my new fans today 15 of them for 20 shipped from newegg

put 6 of them and now case is down around 32 or so

but its loud lol
its a tradeoff i guess

oh well

think this ons is solved for now but i still imight cut some mounts into the top of the case
 
Or make it simple and run them through a simple electrical dimmer switch :) Turn the noise up and down...
