Are my temps too high?

[necro007]

"axemanrio" hopefully both our PC's will stay little cooler now, I'm glad your problem is fixed.

You know, this is not the first time somthing like this happened.

The PC in my sig was the one with the high temps, i got it from a guy who had set up a PC for my Dad.

After about 3 months, one day the CPU H/S Fan just stoped, and ASUS Probe came up and alearted me. I thought that was really strange.

Well they fix'd it and i got a replacement CPU H/S Fan, and i noticed that my temps were a lot higher then before, i think that the BIOS got reset when they changed the CPU H/S Fan.

I'm just glad that my heat issue is over but i plan to get another two fans to help cool my PC, a little bit more.

Thanks to everyone that helped me.

Hi, i looking for some tool i could use to cut this(Click on the sketch), most of you guys are modders so all of your help would be great.

Thanks to "zagood", i going to use his sketch.

So all i need is just to cut the part in red, now can any one recomend me some tools cause i have some free time 2moro so i will be going shoping and i would like to get this out of the way ASAP.

Also could you give me a link to the tool you would recomend.

Thanks

Dremels with cutoff wheels are the best for overall usage. Black and Decker makes a dremel-type tool that's much cheaper, if you're not going to be using it all the time it's a good deal. Ummm...

Home Depot links...

Black n Decker Rotary Tool $30

Dremel MultPro T Set $60

All rotary tools

EDIT: Start out by cutting a hole smaller than what you think you need. You can always cut more out, but you can't cut less.

EDIT2: BTW, on a lot of motherboards, sometimes when you change the heatsink it gives you a "New CPU Installed" message and loads default BIOS.

I can't buy from that store cause i stay in Canada and that store is in the US.

Here's the store that i can go to.

Any other options i have, like are there any tools for $5-$10 (Canadian) that could do the job?

Thanks for the help.

a really sharp knife.

what power tools do you have around? Could always drill multiple holes and break away.

heavy duty tin snips might work...the plastic is probably pretty thick though so you'll have to work for it.

No power tools, i found this at http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/...d=1408474396670271&bmUID=1138908763831 what do you think of it.

Do you think its a waste of time getting that one?

Edit: i fixed the link.

 

[zagood]

Hmmmm wierd link...finally got it though after making up a canadian zip code. Yeah, that set would probably work for you...can't tell you anything about the quality but it it should do the job.

For plastic, I use a Dremel cutting tool -- a jagged wheel that is "all one" with the stem which fits the collet. The replaceable cutting wheels tend to get gummed up with the plastic.

With a little care, you could probably improve the appearance of the case without totally destroying the bezel. Some case bezels have dimples at regular intervals in a lattice pattern -- good for starting holes with a drill which can be widened to as much as a half-inch with a bigger bit. And you can probably pad the inside of the bezel without covering the holes with noise-deadening foam.

As for the 3.2 Ghz (assumed to be Prescott LGA775) -- the numbers you get are linearly related to your room temperature. At 70F room, my 3.2E idles around 90F and at load is about 100F -- maybe 38C. I pressurized the case with high-intake, low-noise fans, and the ducted motherboard and heatpipe cooler channels the air across the mobo and out the exhaust fan.

Do you guys think this is a good way to duct a system?

The duct.

Also will it make a diff?

Bump for some info on what you guys think about that.....

If it were me I'd build a water cooling setup. I personally don't like cutting holes in my case, but sure it may work for you.

 

[necro007]

I was thinking of going the water cooling way but are there any cheap water setups.
