Default PC Fan nightmare on elm st. [pics included] - 08-02-2005, 06:18 PM

Ok here is my dilemma, been having extreme temperature issues with my cpu and case [yes, like Stammer in that other thread] and would love some advice on how many fans and where to put them as up until now i thought it was all fine until i saw my CPU temp was.....82!! and case was 40 degrees celcius.

I took pictures to show my case and its hotness. added arrows showing where fans are now.... [sorry for big image size]

with amazing text added:

Take no notice of ancient star wars walker thing in background..

Where can i put new fans and in what position if I do? feel free to draw on the images if it helps........if anyone can help......

^ Yup what he said.

I always base my fans on circulation going from front to back. and also top fans blowing out bottom blowing in (based on the principle that heat rises)

Wow thanks for that +1

I may have found the problem, the grill type front on the bottom has NO FANS so all the heat is going around the middle/top/back, nothing is pushing it from the front.
So i best buy a fan for the front, but where do i plug the fan into?
would i basically be putting it into those 3-4 white plastic prong things on the m'board?

just wondering, how many fans in total you got in your pc case?
cheers

the fan should come with a male and female molex. So you always have a spare molex connector dangling somewhere.

My PC has 4 case fans

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?

6 80mm case fans (3 inbound, 3 outbound), 2 80mm PSU fans, 1 80mm CPU fan, 1 GPU fan, and 1 fan on the chipset (not sure what size but its very small).

The only really loud fan in my whole system is the CPU fan, and well my Fx5900 had a pretty loud whine during gameplay but it's kinda dead now.. (messed with the bios)

CPU Temp: 20c idle, 32c load.
GPU Temp: 48c idle, 56 load. (56c isnt bad seeing the threshold is 120c)
