Stock cooling

[Trunks]

I have my AMD 2500+ O/Ced to 3200+ like most with the chip and its been this way for months but I just fired the MBM on to check the temps and they are 46 under no load. Does that seem a tad high to anyone, even for stock cooling?

Not really, but it depends alot on your room and case temp............. :wink:

[fstroupe]

maybe the high side of normal....keeping your heatsink fins clean helps a lot...i use an air compressor usually every two weeks.

[Trunks]

Allright cause I couldn't really remember what it used to be at lol. Speaking of compressed air how are those C02 air gizmos?

[undergroundtech]

I think they work pretty good, but are a bit pricey for a can of air.

[Trunks]

Really? Around here they're substantially cheaper then normal air.

[undergroundtech]

It's about $3.00 for a can of compressed air here, unless your talking about something else.

A can of compressed air here is about 12 dollars. (Canadian dollars) and the C02 kit is like 8 or something

Wow... Don't waste that air :mrgreen:

Seriously, I don't think I've seen the CO2 kits, I thought you where talking about canned air.

Interesting

If you give it a try, let us know how it works out for ya.

[fstroupe]

Here in the states, you can get like 25 cylinders for 12 bucks...so not a bad deal after initial cost. Don't know how long they last, though.

Do what I do take it down to the gas station and blow the hell out of it and go home.

[fstroupe]

There ya go!

Thats not to far off from my method, but I use one of those portable air tanks and bring the air home with me to dust it off.

OK so in my efforts to improve airflow in my case and make it cooler without replacing my cpu fan I have ordered some Round IDEs (which have not came in yet) and I went down to radioshack and bought some split loom tubing to go over the power supply cables. I just finished putting the stuff on and while I was in the case I moved some stuff around and put some cable behind other things ect. Any who I'm now running 32ºC on no load I can't explain it.
