Do i need more fans?

[kaymin]

Please read the 3rd post too. Thanks for any help.


I have an AsusA7V mobo, Radeon Le, Athlon 1ghz 200 not overclocked, WD 30gb hd, sb live value, intel chip modem, generic floppy...

i've noticed the radeon gets really hot...i have 2 fans, one over the athlon chip and one that pulls air out...

is that enough with the hot weather? i also leave the case open sometimes...

How hot does the Radeon get?

If the Radeon doesn't have fan on it, you can add one near the card.

What are the other temps (case, CPU etc.)?

I've used mobo monitor and i think the first sensor is at 41, the 2nd sensor is at 66 and the 3rd sensor is at -32(???)...

I get crazy errors too.

What kinds of errors do you get...visual errors, ie artifacting? I'd see if you can get some cooling system for the radeon...if not, see if you can add case fans. Right now with my Antec 1030 I have 4 case fans (one of which is cooling the hard drives), a fan on my Athlon, and 2 fans on my Voodoo5 5500.

A good, high flow 80mm fan would be usefull in the lower, front case fan position to blow some more cool air over your cards.
Mine keeps my AGP and motherboard temps down heaps.
