Thermal Pad or Thermal Paste?

I thought it was idling at 26* C.

 

it dropped to that the other day, didnt stay there for long,

 

Ahhh, ok. Haven't checked my temps lately, probably low as usual. I just need the money to buy more case fans then I'll be golden.

 

lol i need the air temps to come down, its been really hot today and its been maxing out at about 40*C (on a REALLY HOT DAY) so on an average day i'm thinking about 30*C-35*C case temps and about 25*C-30*C cpu temps and i'm expecting my nb to drop to around 49*C

 

thats why its a good idea to invest in an air conditioner haha

 

Hahaha, yea. Get one of those air conditioners that is mounted in the wall by the floor. then take the side off your case and stick it beside the AC. Goodbye high temps.

 

someone actually lodged the air conditioner and soldered it onto his side panel

 

Thats a really good idea. At one point I thought about using a car radiator for water cooling. That would've killed those crappy 120 mm fan ones. Get a Honda radiator with the elctric fans :good:

 

if thats what ya wanna do, its a bit extreme but if it could be incorporated without major modifications or made to look like it was a part of the case could be quite cool, arent they really loud though?

 

Yea. But it would be waaaaaay cheaper than a more extreme solutin and still perform very well.

 

i spose, or jus do what i did, re-think your cooling and but stuff accordingly, i put the old 120mm fan back after taking it out, i now have 2 hdd cooler fans, nb fan, cpu fan, 120mm case fan, 2x80mm case fans, PSU fan - 8 in total, i'm sure people have had more, i could put another 2 in the case and find some space for more, but that's just silly. now i need those cool control units, make the front more exciting and allow control over those fans, hmm yet more money involved, oh well, wen i get some i shall buy them

 

Yea I have a fan controller. It's a very very nice thing to have, especially with 2 tornadoes in your case (I think they got up to F5 yesterday). I have.... lets see.... 2 92 mm Tornadoes on the HS, 2 40 mm OTES fans, 2 generic 80 mm LED fans, a NB fan, a 40 mm fan on my mobile HDD rack, and 2 80 mm's in the PSU. So that makes *counts on fingers* 10 fans in all. In the near future I am going to mount 3 40 mm fans on one of those little 5.25" drive bay covers to feed the fury of those Tornadoes. So that will make 13.

 

then you'd be counting how many btus your system has haha

 

Yea, that would be cool. What is a BTU? Doesn't it stand for British Thermal Unit?

 

BTU - British Thermal Unit

 

haha, it would be awesome to just talk and your friends are like 200CFMs and you're like 12,000btus set on 20

 

Yea, that would be nice. Too bad computers don't run better hot. Then I'd have an excuse to get one of these: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/...?storeId=6970&productId=200306861&R=200306861

 

holy crap, thats amazing haha

Yea, think of it as a very small 0 pound thrust ramjet.
