Summer heat has taken its toll on my PC, my GPU is running 67C while 0% activity.
I have to blast the fan at 100% to keep it cooler (upper 40s) and it sounds like a bloody turbine engine.
Suggestions for keepin it cooled? Fans don't appear to be doing the trick, and I know little to anything about liquid cooling systems.
The room temp is about 26C just to give an indication on the ambiant temps. The A/C is on full blast and it's 1:40 AM for me
I need to get cooled fast before it degrades performance, I have notice games stuttering and having a hard time keeping up with textures and such, signs that the heat IS effecting the unit.
I am still stock cooling on the CPU as well - which worries me since i7's run hot in the first place.
Kinda need a budget Liquid-or-other-silent-cooling system (or at least more silent than this turbine) at least until it cools off here - like around winter. I have no problems "fitting my PC for the seasons" either, putting liquid cool on during summer, and taking off during winter.
*Edit*
I am also not against totally icing this thing with crazy options like Liquid Nitrogen, but that I will have to save up for. I heard there was never a low enough temp for PC's - to an extent I agree.
