Solve : Custom PC running warm Mite be why?? |
|
Answer» I had recently put in a large heatsink to disapate the heat away from the cpu since this is a gaming machine. However, I thought it had solved the problem but three hours or so latter the alert went off that my cpu was too warm. I have a rear fan a front fan an a side one with a ram cooling fan. It usally runs like 93 degrees an after a while it gets up to about 129 which is the yellow area. Program called intel active monitor reads in ferinhite. My dad recemmoned a larger heat sink since it had heating problems before. Got a large copper heatsink from Thermalright inc, sorry I cant say more but time limited. Its a Intel SE7210TP1-E socket 478 not sure if you will find it if you want the specs cause it mite bring up a tawian board so its ether a O or 0, Pent 4 with at least 2.8 ghz, DDR Ram, RADEON x1300 VIDEO card, HDA X-plosion 7.1 auido card,nic, two sata drives one 320 the other 160, floppy an dvd bunner. Anything else? Also the side panel an ram fan an the front panel burn blue leds not sure if this would change the temp a whole lot. Its not bad when I have the AC running but some days it goes on an off. The monitoring software says that when it starts its about 88 to 90 degrees. The BIOS says its about 100 degrees? when it cold boots. The numbers are posted in Fahrenheit. ... I have a rear fan a front fan an a side one with a ram cooling fan. It usally runs like 93 degrees an after a while it gets up to about 129 which is the yellow area. ... I've never seen a system with a front fan. Which direction are all those fans blowing? In or out? If by chance you have front and back both blowing from outside to in, then they are working against each other. Just a thought.Good point, thought that it would take in cool air an realse the hot from inside it.It should be blowing at the HARDWARE. Even you should know that. yeah, but I cant figure out which way there going. Sorry it just a me thing.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on August 09, 2008, 08:19:52 PM It should be blowing at the hardware. Even you should know that. One of them should be blowing at the hardware and the other should be blowing away to remove the hot air. Or maybe that side fan is so big it can suck out the air blown in by both of the other fans, unless it's blowing in also. The point is, you want maximum air flow. If both or all three fans are blowing IN and none is blowing OUT, you may be getting less than the maximum across the cooling fins. The fact that it's getting hot suggests there might be an airflow problem. On most systems I've had, there is one fan blowing into the power supply, and sometimes a second fan below it blowing in toward the CPU, with no exhaust fan. Vents on the front of the case allows the air to escape (rushing over the hard drive as it goes to keep it cool too).I have one in the front so that it keeps the hd cool an blows in the cool air. These are all 80 mm fans except the fan cooling the RAM. I tried to get it so that it blow cool air in on the part so that the CPU remains cooled. Yes there is GREASE applied. Maybe I should have it so it goes out the back? |
