The out side temp went up the past couple days and my Pc's fan kicked it up. Its louder because its running faster. Is this ok for the compter? I have my computer on alot Is there a fire hazard at risk? How much more eletric is this takeing up? And what else do I need to know? I added a pci slot fan and i cant really tell if it is helping. I also took the side of my computers case off is that good for it? And i want to add that i keep it clean from dust and at night time the fan slows down do to the temp going down. Should I buy another fan, a quiet one? will it be better for the PC. Thank you I also just heard of something called speed fan and HDD temp it tells you the speed of your fan and differnt temps of things. What should my temps be around?
i have 7-fans in my computer and the case sides on... two in front,two on top and two in back..onr cooling the hard drives.. with the sides on the fan air will remove the heat off ye mother board hard drives and dvd-roms..and exhaust the hot air out the rear.. cheers my temp mother board 98.6f,37c cpu 72.2f,24c
That should be fine unless your experiencing problems like hanging or failure to boot or any other weird problems nothing to worry about. O and its fine to leave the case of just make sure you dont place your foot inside as a foot rest by mistake!! Oooo and ireland what cpu you got and what cooling?? Thats pretty damn low!

Your pic disappered, Well I seen it and Wow nice find, 7 fans thats crazy, Im going to buy a new case that has fans all over but I have to make shure I can fit my dell (mini-tower) motherboard into a ATX/Micro ATX (ATX Mid-tower)? Well I got another newbie question were do these fans go? http://images.google.com/images?q=PC+3.5+HDD+Hard+Disk+Drive+Cooler++ &hl=en&btnG=Search+Images Can you maybe link me to a pic with one installed Thank you so much
7 fans, you have me beat Ireland. Only have 5. For your question NINVIN21, put them near or at the hot spots. CPU should have fan mounted, video card if it doesn't have a fan, try to pull air to that spot. Mine is sort of a tunnel ram, I have 4 exhaust fans, A 120mm at the the top of the case, a 90mm, at the back mid close to the heat sink and fan for the processor.My vid card didn't have a fan so i bought a slot fan w/2 40mm fans. They are on swivel w/extensions, one went to my vid card the other extended to between the hard drives. They all pull air from front to back, except for the top of course. I took a utility knife to the air intake in the front of the case. Cut away plastic until the rushing sound lessened. Then fixed a screen to catch the unfortunate fly that got too close. They are all hooked to a controller, except for the cpu fan. Hey it's you puter, personalize it. Put a clear side on and fan the hell out of it. Nothing wrong with keeping it cool.
Lol nice find ireland wish i was that damn lucky! O and i have 7 fans as well and im buying one more to keep my hdd cool! Also if your still there dont worry about your fans. Thats what there built to do.
