My pc don't like the hot weather

[Rcb]

The CPU running at 68 degrees idle, (7 degrees more than normal ) at 70 it turns off which it did when I got back from town earlier. Any tips on keeping the temp down? I've taken the side of the case off and all my windows are open, seems to be doing nothing.

Desk fans, extra fans, and more fans.

Also I've taken out all my optical drives to make air moving space, and taken out my HDs, placed them seperately and have fans aimed at them!

Desk fan tbh

Also what CPU cooler are you using?

My CPU temp is only 42C. Shame that my motherboard has dodgy capaciters (they hiss when hot) and it restarts itself because of that . Or at least I think it's the capaciters.

I've had problems with my other PC I've put this down to the PSU over heating. The voltage rails where all over the place.
That machine is 2800+ barton and runs happily at 42 degrees 247 on a Zalman flower, if it needs a hover out it might run up to 48.
Sounds like you could do with reviewing your cooling and CPU voltages.

deff take off any overclocks lol

Mine's alright, and it's overclocked...


Actually, I tell a lie. My fanbus is playing up. Keeps turning the cathodes from always on to sound-activated momentarily. Hasn't done it till today. And when it was hot a couple months ago. Stupid thing

I thought mine was high! Well its been about 3C higher than normal.

All i've done is put the side panel alightly open, as in touching at top and about 2cm gap at the bottom.

CPU idle is 31 and radeon 9800Pro is 56 idle. In the cooler weather with side panel on the gpu was 59 idle!

Ive had to clock mine down to cope *cough prescott* and my monitor went bang yesterday......

[YorkieBen]

my load temps have gone up 5 degrees

[Trippledence]

Mies louder when hot, fan controlers doing there bit.

Our server went out a few weeks ago.
- Looked at the temp logs, and its not surprising, the CPU hit 74, at which time the HDD was at about 45!
- Its in the attic, and the cool-air duct had fell off, so it was sucking in the hot! (which today got to 38!)

xp2500 (1.83g) oc to 2.2g registering a rise of 7-8°C to 46°C at idle today. I'm using an old old coolermaster HS plus a 120mm ducted fan over chipset and cpu. So I would say you need better cooling. 61°C cooling idle at normal air temps is too high imho.

Edit: Idle is 51°C today getting a bit high.

I agree, the normal fan just isn't good enough but it should be

[Mike Fishcake]

How many case fans have you got?

[Matt1eD]

My old and beautiful Athlon 1GHz has an 80mm fan on it running at full whack, idle in the winter runs about 30 yesterday shot up to 51!!!! I'm not even overclocked.

[[DW]Cougho]

idle temps up about 5C here. From 30C to 35C

havent measured load temps, in fact ive not taken any hot weather precautions and ive been playing BF2 demo and EVE online alot.

Also looking at my Xp90 im shocked how i havent had any restarts, the damn HS is filled with dust.

EDIT: thats with all fans 7v'ed aswell.
