I need some Coolant for my PC , cuase my computer overheats alot when i play games (halo , Half life 2 and its expansions etc.) , iv only heard about it and have no idea how it works , so bear with me. I need nice coolant , not SUPER DUPER JELLY OOPER coolant , just somthin that will keep my PC coooool...... Plz Help
What cooling setup have you got at the moment?Do you have a fan for air intake aswel as for out on your case? what size case fans etc.
heh cool your helping me again , i got 2 120mm fans , 1 in front sucking , 1 in back blowing hot ass air out , oh and also a very handy one at the top 80mm fan that blows all the hot air , its pretty smart , cuase heat raises into the air and this fan sux it all out , but its probly not my video card or CPU since they both go 3100RPM expet the CPU fan goes a little fast upto speeds of 3500RPM somtimes , oh and my video card fan and CPU fan are both about 80 mm big , but it cant be my video card , becuase i got heatsinks on all the rams and the fan was put on by me ( it cant fail lol) and my video card is cold as wen i touch it , so im starting to think its the system (aka motherboard) my motherboard is AI Proactive P5P800 and my Video card is Nvidia 5200 256MB ( i know its sad , but if u can find me a 6800 GT 256MB for less then 400 bux then tell me( either US or AU currency)
My Video Card Fan. http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/res.../box_processors/desktop/proc_dsk_p4/index.htm my CPU 3.00ghz , my motherboard can overclock it upto 4ghz , but i onli overclocked it 5% (3.15ghz)
The fan setup you got sounds ok so maybe Coolant is the way to go never used it myself but id have a look here for info anyway The cooling thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/81431
You may be looking for something like this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-155-987&depa=0
WTF...........Didn't they use something like that in the Millenium Falcon to cool down the HyperDrive................
OMG , just looked at the price , maybe somethin a little better looking , and cheaper . my friend has this thing , he says he got it from japan , it goes infront of the pc(cd drive slot) and u use some sort of coolant and it has tese kind of tubes i tink they are that leaks onto whereever u put the tube (motherboard , video card etc.) , its about 60 bux , australian his uncle says so i need to look for somtin like that.
yay a professinal Qestion, ATM my system temp is 36degrees my CPU is the latest pentuim 4 i unoverclocked it back to normal 3.00ghz and its temp is 47degrees , and im not playing anything but i am running My P2P and musicmatch jukebox and MSN and steam.
how high does the temps get as right now i'm at about 50c for a p4-2.4 celeron prescott cpu & that is not gaming but browsing the net
if able to get into the bios setup, see if there is a category called hardware monitor, pchealth status or something similar. if so see if can change the shutdown temp to say 65-70c
i was able to drop my temps with arctic silver thermal compound and a air guide over the cpu by 6c . it was a cheap solution to my heat problems . here's a link to the air guide im talking about . http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/15/05/150510_150510.pdf
in hardware monitor, is the cpu q-fan enabled & if so what is the setting in the cpu fan ratio? in the cpu target temperature, what is the setting?
