    WOW! Transfered to antec 900 and HR-03 GPU Cooler.

    Yeah i actually saw your build before I bought the case. That's some nice work! I dunno about the fan. I'm using the antec tri-cool fans. I couldn't get the case closed because the center of the fan would be hitting the peak of the heat pipes on the HR-03. I could probably fit a thin fan in...

    WOW! Transfered to antec 900 and HR-03 GPU Cooler.

    I am freaking amazed at the temps i'm getting now! I'll explain a little first. I bought an old generic case a couple years ago. Typical fan setup 120 front, 120 back, and an 80mm side fan. I think the only reason I bought it was because it said aluminum on it...thats it...right on the front...

    Thermalright's HR-03 VGA cooler Q

    I have one of these sitting on my desk with a 92mm fan. I am wondering if I should be pushing air through the heat sink or pulling air away from it? I thought a fan was for pushing air through the fins too cool them. Right...

    Weird X1900XT issue ?

    So I managed to fix the issue, but I am looking for a root cause. Turn on puter this morning....all pictures are really dark and splotchy. Update drivers since it's been a while. Same thing. Mess with catalyst control center and everything went back to normal when I hit "Reactivate...

    P4 560 heat issue !!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

    Heh well due to extreme laziness I finally go around to putting the arctic silver stuff on the cpu about 20 minutes ago. Good results. a bit cooler I'm about 5C cooler at idle and 10C cooler under 100%cpu usage. The best part is no throttling now. It still seems high, but I'm...

    I have a Core 2 Duo E6700 on the way. I don't want to do a fullblown computer upgrade now (waiting until I upgrade to vista), but this prescott is a pile of power sucking overheating crap. Anyway I have been trying to do some research, but I am just not that knowledgable about chipsets on...

    P4 560 heat issue !!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

    Wow how frustrating. I downloaded Prime95 and Throttle watch. I guess the prescott's add some idle cycles in if the processor starts getting to hot. So I crank up prime 95 and start playing CS:S and the results are shown below. WOWZAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOK AT ALL THAT THROTTLING. That is so...

    P4 560 heat issue !!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

    Hmmm yeah jeez I dunno maybe that is normal operating temps for a prescott. I've been doing some research and everywhere I go it says they run around 50 idle and 70 under load. Is there a program or anything I can use to crank up my cpu usage?

    P4 560 heat issue !!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

    hmmm well its a generic case. Has a fan in the front, a fan in the back, and a fan on the side. I think front and side are 90mm and back is 120mm. So I was trying to task my cpu and was playing CS:S while listening to music and copying a buncha files. Temp peaked at about 74C :o and...

    P4 560 heat issue !!!!!!!!!!! HELP!
