    Troubles with a ASUS SLI Premier

    Right this is a long one and I appologise.

    I am having trouble with keeping my system cool. Now I know my GPU is going to get hot because it was pre o/c and I have just o/c my cpu. Which I understand will increase the tempture.

    I my basic running with no load is 117F for the GPU , 93F for the CPU and 92F for my mobo. I think this is a little warm for the mobo.

    I have tried to get my cpu fan to run faster using Ntune but for some reason it is not giving me the options to play with the fan settings. If I increase the fan speed will it help dissipate the from the heat pipe. Does anyone know how to get all the options open using Ntune?

    The other option is to stick a better fan in but will that really make more differnece to it. I am using the AMD retail HS and Fan for the CPU. Or is it a case more of airflow. I have a lan-li case but I think that the GFX card is ristricting the movemt of the air as it is so large.
    So I am thinking of a couple of Fans in the 5 and half bays but I am not sure how good they really are. So if you used them any info would be great.

    The final and most expensive route is to watercool it but I know that I could do the CPU and the GPU but what the unkown is the north bridge, could I remove the pipe and stick another contact there.

    I am thinking of the Zalman http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=223217 with the extra north bridge sink.

    So to sum up.

    1. Is it running too hot.
    2. Anyone how to use Ntune
    3. More fans and recommends
    4 Watercooling advice with the north bridge cool pipe issues.

    Any help would be greatfully recived.

    Those temperatures are perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.

    If you have not turned on the Qfan function in BIOS, I suppose your fan is already running at full speed. You can't run faster than full speed you know.

    1. No
    2. Use AiBooster from Asus
    3. Your temperature is fine
    4. The heatpipe is a lot better than the Zalman NB heatsink fan, no need to change that. Moreover if you change it it might block your graphics card
