Its crazy... My case' ambient temp was like 42degrees.. ant he chip was idling at 51 does that sound right. (with the fan on low)
(thermaltake Venus 12)
with the fan on high (too damn loud) it will idle around 43-45
what can i do to decrease the temprature? and less noise. I was thinking of watercooling. but before i do that i want a bigger case.. to move first... because with my luck. someone will hit a pipe and blow up my computer when i'm moving
i was thinking of getting a fan adapter. stepping to a 120mm cpu fan. and running it at a lower speed.
or should i get a different HSF... Thinking either the thermalright
xp120 or xp90
The case is a Thermaltake Xaser 1000...
i'm also thinking of trying out the stock cooler, i have a feeling at idle it will be quieter. but once under load it will get hotter than the thermaltake.
