Nice tempssss

[Ridic]

damn i was just playing Enemy territory for like 2 hours and my 9800pro isnt even that hot. My cpu temp is 35c with a vantec aeroflow. Very nice temps considering i only have 3 fans + cpu fan at the moment.

Uh...how do you know if your 9800 is hot or not? You have to touch it to really see.

35c under load is pretty friggin sweet. I wonder why your 9800 doesn't get hot. After an hour or so you can fry an egg on my 9800.

I did...lol. The heat sink is warm but it dosnt burn if i hold my finger on it. I just re-read mobo monitor and my average cpu temp is like 30-31c and in games i rises a few.

I have a side fan, that could be why my 9800pro isnt too hot. Apparently the Vantec aeroflow is pretty damn good, i get no vibration either.

Can't wait til my Xaser III gets here monday. I don't want my parts to burn out. They've been sitting in 55c for the past few weeks.

i doubt that will do any harm for a few more days. Heh i should have 2 other fans in my comp but i ran out of 3 pin slots now i gotta order 2 more 4 pin ones.

aha...29c

 

[ShinRa]

My psu better come with plenty of 3 and 4 pin, because I've got 7 fans coming in that ****er. I need power for all my drives and shit, so I hope they thought that through.

my cpu gets 36c when running rainbow six: raven shield for awhile. its nice, dont have many case fans, and its a thermaltake volcano 11 cooling the cpu itself

 

[Ridic]

guinny, if all of the fans are either 3pin or 4 pin then you might not be able to plug them all in. I dont know how many 4 pin slots i have left, but i used like 2 3pin slots.

 

[ShinRa]

Well, why would they give me 7 stock fans, and not enough PSU connectors for all of them plus my drives?

 

[Ridic]

they probably mixed them up....maybe half and half.

 

[Washuu]

guinny: plug near by fans into each other, then into a connector from psu, hopefully ur fans can do that... if not get some adaptors

 

[Ridic]

i think the 4pin fans can do that....in my case on my side fan which is a 4 pin its got kinda like a splitter. I assume i can hook another 4 pin to that one.

Well allow me to show you why my temp is so hot for my video card:

I probably should get some fans, all I have is 1 fan at the back and a cpu fan, shit.

Err, maybe because he has four fans inside the case...
