didnt realize that room temperature would have such a HUGE effect on teh temperature of the cpu... i know that it effects it but didn't realize it could drop it this much...

my 100% load temperature has dropped from 45C to 41C now that i have cracked my window like 1/2 an inch....

btw... i live in illinois and it's COLD now :)

Haha... I know exactly what you mean. My computer sits next to the window, and with it cracked open a bit, temps drop 4-5*C. Too bad it makes my temperature drop the same :), otherwise I'd always leave it open.

okay...

i had two exhaust fans.... no intake...

i dunno what i was thinking before...

i had two fans in the back.. sucking in...

so after reading i realized that prolly wasn't the best idea considering that the the psu fan is blow out right above it...

SO.... i put one fan from the back to the front....

so now 1 is sucking in from the front... and 1 blowing from the back...

my system temps went from... 33C to 25C :)

my 100% load went from 43 to 41C :)
