OT: Main PC shut down

Just before leaving for work today, while I was Online at Anandtech DC Forums, Intel's monitoring software popped open and audio alarms sounded. It declared that the secondary box fan's temp was in the "RED" :evil: range and the CPU's monitor was showing it's temp near the red range. I shut down some programs I had open and it helped some but still at very high elevated temp levels.

I shut down the pc and will try to grab a can of air (or 3) tonight and hope that does the trick. But I am afraid I'll have to invest in some new fans since the pc (3.06ghz intel w/1gig ram - 5 hard drives and assorted little toys) has been running 24/7 for over a year now...

My apologies to the gang running Folding @ Home and Dimes while my box is "UNDER" the weather. 🙁
 
Sorry to hear that TurtleBlue.

Now is a good time to re-apply some artic silver or similar product as well. A year is a long time between applications😉

Hope you get her cooled down 😛

Main rig is back online...

Just about expended a can of air blasting out KING KONG size dust bunnies out of the Main PC Tower unit...can I sell this stuff at EBay?

Also purchased the following - to be installed this weekend - I hope!
  • Zalman all copper Ultra Quite CPU Cooler - this beast is HUGE!
  • 1 tube of Arctic Silver #5
  • 2 120mm fans
  • 4 80mm fans (2 thermallly controlled)

CPU is now running at 49celsius, according to Intel's Active Monitor, will let you know Wolfie what the Zalman cooler will accomplish.

Thanks for concern...
