pwm little warm !!

[p.s.guy]

ok the pwm temp on my an8 32x is idle at 50c goes up to 60c under load.where is the best place to put a fan to cool it a bit..or anyother ways to get it lower

i dont think flow in my case is that bad, but i am watercooled which will not help
and i am not overclock at the mo...

If possible you should have a fan blowing in above the I/O ports and one blowing out near the heatpipe. You might have to mod it a little to fit a small fan to the heatsink near the vent on the back plate. Normally the CPU fan pushes the air across the heatpipe and out the back but when using a watercooler it creates a dead spot.

thanks for the reply sean,

I mounted a little fan over the heat sink and removed the silent otes sign,which help a little.

What is under this heat sink.Can the heat sink/heat pipe be removed and fit a water block in its place???

I was under the impression the pwm is designed to work at higher temps since it performs a form of power regulation. I could be wrong, and if so very interested to better understand what it does
