Uhh.. ya you definitely might want to get some fans in that case.

The PSU's fan isn't designed to take all the heat out of your system, it's just for the PSU. You need a fan in the back at least. I don't know if there are any in the front of the case, but you should have some there too.


If it's just your CPU that is having heat issues, you should upgrade your heatsink too. That looks pretty puny and the grill looks pretty restirctive.

Nope, and do what Akuma says.

Zalman has some kick ass heatsinks and cooling systems.

[quote=Tystnad][quote="mr.miyagi":27f8c]GTFO my thread. Problem isn't solved just yet, am about to order 2 fans, 1 120mm and 1 92mm i think, will update when i can..[/quote:27f8c]

Snipes, dont lock a thread just becuase the problem is solved. People might still want to discuss in it.

Miyagi, have you checked the fanpositions, so that you are sure about the sizes?[/quote:27f8c]

I asked since i wasnt sure, too many threads get reopend after months of nothing cuz no one reads the dates, and you know how Zone hates that. So when the problem is solved i lock it. If they need it reopened or what not all they need to do is PM

just bought 2 80mm case fans. theres a motherboard slot for 1 but not the other.
both fans came with a 3 way wire, 1 slides into mobo, 1 end is a male molex and the other is for the fan.
When ive tried it however it strangely doesn't work, fan only works when i plug it straight into the mobo.

been googling for ages too, no help anywhere..... wallbash:


edit: are there any other sockets i can use apart from my ONLY 2 '3 pin' white sockets [for fans] and the molexes, as i'm out of molexes......

my cpu fan is constantly on 100% usage, have no ad/spyware on here, hijackthis seemed ok, wonder whats causing this?.......

run task manager and see how many things are running under processes

U got the same case as me eek:

Eh, do you mean cpu time or the fan? If its the fan its meant to be on full all the time.

I couldn't give a shit about my airflow, my computer is a piece.

Ah yeah sorry for confusion, was my cpu usage, lol not my fan which is always 100%.

ANYWAYS, thanks for all your help guys, I've bought some molex adapters and have successfully applied 2 case fans inside...
Temp is now about 40 cpu, 33 case, which isn't perfect but it'll do me for now.
The main thing that was wrong was that MOTHERBOARD MONITOR WAS WRONG, it was telling me my cpu was 82 degrees C and my case was 50-ish C.........so i checked in the BIOS and got those lower readings. So in future check your temps the bios way.

Have fixed the 100% cpu usage too, just disabled the startup programs in msconfig and used a process of elimination in terms of programs running, i seemed to have fixed it.

Cheers! beer:
