Today, i used the program Sandra for the first time and i checked my temps. My board temp was 63 degrees Celcius and my CPU temp was 42 degrees celcius and my room is roughly around 21 degrees celcius, PSU was also about that temp. My comp is running at stock speeds.
I opened it up today and found out, there were ZERO case fans.
Sandra was telling me that my board temp was way too hot and i should lower it. But how? My case only has a fan mount in front, but in the back, there is only alot of holes for air to pass through but with no place to mount a fan (this case is a steel case, and yes, i know it's a crappy case, but i didnt know anything about comps when i got the case).
What i do now, is i removed the side panel and moved a fan from outside to blow into the comp (not a comp fan, but one of those things that u can sit in front of when ur hot). Board temps have dropped back down to around 49 degrees celcius, CPU temp has dropped to 26 degrees and the PSU temp has dropped back down to 27 degrees in this situation, but this is only short term and i dont think having a fan at my feet, taking up my leg room is going to be a long term solution. After i get my new comp, this comp will be used for office work in an office, so it wont be possible for a fan to be there blowing into the case.
Is a board temp of 63 degrees celcius worrying? Is a 120mm frontal case fan sufficient for cooling, or should i really be getting a new case for this rig?
