well I'm not overclocking... so far its about 45 running windows but the gpus are running at 75 I added a a system fan to blow more air over the cpu cooling fins. I have room in the case for a pci card fan.. might get one of them to help move heat away from the gpu cards but they already have the ace 3 fans on them
I'm running a pent 2 extreame Quad core and Its running at 45C at what temp should I worry about it becoming a slag pit. I'm running a zero therm btf95 fanless cpu cooler. and the bio shows it at 45C running bios waiting on vista to finish installing to check running temp. I have a extra fan I can sneak into the case to blow more air over the cooling fins. but it will take building a brace or trapping it into the wires to hold it correctly. when I'm finished with the installing the 2nd graphic board I'll post some picks and better stat list. Still waiting on the new harddrive tho its on back order so using a older sata drive from like 4 years ago only 7500rpms so its bottle necking my load times.
so I'll buy two of the better cooled cards I'm guessing......... still iffy on that huge tower thing in the case......... plus I'd like an all copper one....
as i've said before This is my first full system build I've never overclocked any of my parts..... I'm more interested in playing games on it then seeing how hard I can push it........ but if I can buy a little extra speed with out worrying I'd go for that. well unless I cut a hole in my alienware case you can't see anything hehehhe
what kinda cooling unit you got in your monster its close to what I've got sitting in my shoping cart...... I'm geting a quad core for the 680i tho....
