Hello. I have a nice case: Sliverstone TJ08S uATX
I recently bought myself a 4800 series graphics card. This thing gets hot when playing games. When doing anything else my 2 x 120mm fans in the case keep it nice and cool. But when playing a game things warm up. I can feel the top of the case get warm. And my DVD drive gets warm as well, which makes the game disc warm when I eject it out the DVD drive.
Although my Corsair 520w psu is not put out - It does not power any more than 300 w/a I think the PSU may be an issue with the case getting hot as it does get warm in small cases - The fans in it won't automatically speed up until the temps in the case get a lot hotter I have found in other cases.
So, I have a dremmel or maybe I could buy a 4.5 Hole Saw and have a go at fitting a fan on the inside panel. I have not had much experience there so am worried I'll mess up. I won't go near water cooling. Inside the cables are all neatly tucked away.
You all seem really good at modding judging by pics in this forum. What do you recommend me to do? Any other options and if cutting me case up is the way to go, do you have any tips or tricks of the trade you could share? I'm keeping the small case.![]()
