You can tell it's summer....

[Lee H]

Only disadvatage - its gone from a nice tidy single slot card to 5 slotter

The length's some people go to get better cooling.

Remember the Lovely Aero 7 cooler?

No.. well let me take you down memory lane.



As soon as the warm weather started and the clocks went forward the ducting usually reserved for dryers was used to connect 1 side of the fan and then to the back of the case.

Winter-time... now this is where the fun started. Firstly I extended the duct by another 10cm and then moved the PC desk so I could put it out the window. The temps on my unlocked 2500+ had never been so low

Thankfully the days of my crazy cooling have finished... I think for a few weeks at least

my chipset got hotter than my cpu today !!

mines always hotter lol - about 10 degrees andi have active cooling!!!

[Robert]

My X1800XT is 63deg IDLE

[MD]

CPU - 40 degrees
Mobo - 37 degrees
PSU - 30 degrees
GPU - 54 degrees

No problems here but then i always turn my heater up so it is uncomfortably hot when i set up my overclock. Obviously no need in this weather but in the middle of winter it is well worth doing or you're quite likely to get problems in the summer.

Mine's at:

CPU: 45C (load is hitting 55C)
MB: 39C
GPU: 50C

Everything's jumped about 5C up for me. Still, not 'that' bad for a Pentium D

Well chuffed with my case at mo, 1x120mm and 1x80mm intakes, 80mm internal keepiong things moving inside, 2x120mm rear fans and a 120mm on my PSU pulling it out the top. Add a nice big side mesh and a fan controller to mesaure temps and drop speeds and I'm running 30C on CPU (load at about 34C) Chipset is about 35C. Now I need a blow hole or two...

[megah0]

CPU 36 deg at idle 40ish under load and its still quiet.

Gotta love watercooling.

lol i'm on something silly like 53 CPU, 48 Mobo, that's with the case side open!
