it doesn't seem that blowing the heat off the cpu down onto the mother board is smart at all, does it? Also my GEFORCE 8800 vid card seems pretty hot as well, so it's catching it from both sides and I have to pull the side panel off to keep it at 44c. The CPU is running at 54c. This is without gaming, just minor use which doesn't seem to make any difference at all from no load.
I'm running a quad core 2500 amd phenom, 4gigs Corsair Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz Memory w geforce 8800 768 mb card
Any info would be appreciated.
I turned up the power supply fan because it was a little low and the temp shot up and climbed to 47c, so I put a large fan on it blowing over a bag of frozen beans, lol. Now I'm running 41c mb and 52 c cpu.
The fan would fit so he turned it upside down and blew down, I think we should have trimmed the vanes a little to make it fit, any thoughts on that?
The heatsink should be pulling the heat AWAY from the CPU and the motherboard.
Shouldn't be sucking air in to cool it.
Look into some additional case fans.
