Hello,
Guys i have a weird problem... this is my sistem:
Q6600 G0 SLACR w/ Tuniq Tower 120 @ 3.4GHz, 1.28V
MSI P35 Neo2-FR
Corsair TWIN2X DDR2-800 DHX Cooled 5-5-5-15 (2GB @ DDR945)
Gainward BLISS 8800GT 1024MB
Seagate 400GB 16MB Buffer SATA2
Antec SonataIII case w/ Antec EarthWatts 500 PSU
The problem is this: Last week, i had 35/35/32/32 in CoreTemp at 3.4GHz... Now, it boomed up to 42/42/38/38... The CPU is flat, in case you should ask, I've had the oportunity to check it with a laser micrometer at a professional facility. HSF is the same, so these things rule out.
Is the case the problem? i mean... it's been getting warmer outside so this must be influencing it but i'm not sure how much. I have the extra cooler mounted... useless, since it seats behind the hdd.
I've been thinking and the only problem i could come out with was airflow... it's not enough i think. If this is the problem... can you help me? i mean, i'm trying to find some solutions, i don't want to ditch the case, it was kinda expensive. If i eventually DO get another one, i was thinking of the Antec900 case. P180 was the first choice but i'm not taking any chances... 900 has 6 mountable fans, that MUST be enough.
