Hi all,
Everyone always complains about my room being extremely hot so I decided to check the temperatures and was surprised to see that they looked as so:
Idle:
CPU - 45-50c
GPU - 60c
Gaming/Load:
CPU - 88-99c
GPU - 80-82c
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz
GFX Card: Radeon HD 6870
CPU Fan: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Case: Coolermaster Elite 330
Case Fans: 1 x 120mm Fan at the back blowing air out
I am considering buying another fan to put in the front to blow air in, would it make much of a difference?
Temps while gaming:
PC Case Setup:
I have 2 missing PCI slots as you can see, I am not sure what sort of effect that would have on the temperatures.
Things I have done:
- Took out Case/CPU Fan and cleaned out all the dust.
- Vacuumed rest of dust in case
- Made sure CPU cooler was firmly in place.
The CPU cooler I use is a bit big and interfers with the ram sticks, as you can see from the pic.
It did not fit properly and I had to force it down, so I think I will need to reapply some thermal paste.
But apart from that does anyone know what else I can do?
