i'm mildly overclocking my 1800
mobo: ga7dx
HSF: alpha8045 with a panaflo
idle temps were 36-37 when i first set it all up (about three weeks ago)
now i'm idling at 45 and i haven't changed a thing

what could be up?

btw i have two 80mm in the side (one over the pci - blowing in -- one over the HSF sucking out), one 80mm in front suckin in, and a 120mm panaflo on top sucking out
(case has crap for airflow still though)
 
Hmm, check the HS for dust buildup, that might be the culprit. WIth the fan sucking on the 8045, it draws a bunch of dust into the heatsink.
 
im gonna say dust. i cleaned teh dust of my SK6 and droped my temps 4 degrees C. also whats yyour room temp that had a big impact also
 
case temp is 27

i looked through the window, the alpha IS kinda dusty

i have positive airflow though...hmmmm

i guess its time to make some filters for my intake fans - what works good?
 
all ghetto 🙂
i don't think i have any pantyhose though (errr...ok i KNOW i don't have any pantyhose)
