Cooling

[Adrien C]

Man, has it happen to you that your Pc re-boots when you make extensive use of it ? Well, it's over heat. Mexican heat is killing my Comp.

Now, I want to install 2 new fans, one that extracts hot air, and one that gives air. Apart from that, do you guys have any more tips ?

Clean up your cables (organize, make sure they aren't blocking airflow), dust out your heatsink. Make sure said heatsink is mounted properly (if you installed it yourself). What are your temps at? (idle/load) (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/)

dusting out ur heatsink tips -

dont actually take the heatsink off unless ur planning on putting a new coat of ceramique on ur cpu. just blow really hard (hehe...) on it and watch the dust fly out.

make sure you get filters for your fans. also clean everything out with a q-tip.

I did that, much better, thanks a lot.

Any way to know your Temp with Windows ?
