cooling problem

[WQ87]

100 deg f is nothing, my 3200+ produces 120 deg f of heat.

You should get this, it keeps both my friend's comp and cd drive cool. Great way to solve your cd-bay/cooling fan problem.

ive got something like that ive got one of these http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/Sku.asp?PageType=1&Sku=482254 what you posted looks like it would work better though. and i have 2 of these case fans http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/Sku.asp?PageType=1&Sku=505840. i have one at the bottom blowing in, and another on the back blowing out. im gonna try it again, and check the termperatures this time.

thanks for all the help it seems to be keeping pretty cool. and thanks alot for showing me the fan that cools video cards. thats working great.

pardon my ignorance, but where do the extra fans rest or sit?

 

[MrEd]

ive got one screwed into the back of my tower blowing out of the computer, i have another on the bottom of my computer under a fan case thing blowing in, and i have another type of fan next to my video card on a pci slot. then a fan on my cpu.

what i meant was
other than the 3 fans(CPU,GPU, power system), where do you sit the fans.
i mean there are no places on the case to screw them in, are they?

 

[MrEd]

yea on the back of my case there a spot you can screw in a fan, and on the bottom it has a place already setup for a fan

ah, i see it now, the circular pattern of holes.

i have got a rectangular pattern of holes at the bottom of my case, even my old case (circa 1998) has them, what are they there for?
