|
 |
Hi guys.... My pc is 4 years old or even more. Its still kicking very well and I am suprised actually.
I think its too early(in my wallet  ) to change any parts(maybe beside getting another 2gb of ram if its even worth it)
Anyway. Iam dusting off my pc often and I take good care of it. And Its god damn loud and hot(warming my room). Even tho Ive replaced cpu silk and dissassembled gpu and dusted it off.
Is it worth getting new cpu cooler? You see my stats in signature. I am overclocking that poor 1,86 to 2,45(with lowest possible vcore working1,3) or even 2,80 on that poor stock cooler, but doesnt really use it for gaming anymore becouse I cant stand the fact that it heats up greatly, if I start up most of games and it turns into a jet.
My temps are: (stock coolers, 2,45cpu, windows7 32bit DESKTOP, sporting some websites in mozilla and watching flash video right(paused hen posting) now(pc is on for 3hours):
both cores 50C(gaming goes to around 70C)
cpu fan 2586 rpm... Yes I can set bios to quiet mode and then its 1600rpm but temps are higher.
gpu 67C with 64% fan speed.
If I can make it quieter and cooler, I would wish so... cheap if possible. I dont want to spend money on this pc but I dont want to get new either soon, so I have to do something with this I guess.
Any cheap propositions? Poland here, so Garus(I AM TALKING TO YOU) or other folks are welcome

Actually... I don't have any fans in my case. Only fans are those in cpu, gpu and psu
I've never gave any attention to case fans and air flowing , becouse Ive always though that I wouldnt get any reasonable improvement in temps but only noise... but I didnt tried it, So if this is so important I could use some instructions.
I have standard case with grill on the side (in front of cpu) and grill on the back.
Should i just put there 2 defauly fans? which way either of them should throttle the air?
edit: Btw, I am using hwmonitor to check my temps

It varies a bit but having air sucked in from the front or bottom of the case and exhausted out back or top is what I'm most used to, it creates a airflow that allows for fresh / cool air to be in the case and the hot air to be exhausted out of it, at worst you get a sort of still which increases temps since the hotter air is not exhausted properly.
It varies a bit how much of a impact this has as far as I remember but it's down to a lot of different factors from how much space there is in the case, ambient (room) temperature and of course the fans themselves and how much heat the hardware generates.
Dust mostly just enhances this and makes temps rise even higher, usually things are pretty OK but it doesn't hurt to dust the computer off every now and again to avoid blocking airflow too much.
(Opening the case as far as I remember is a pretty OK way to test airflow, if it results in a noticeable improvement it might be something to think about - there will usually be some difference though.)
I know the basics quite well but I'm no expert, someone else can likely give much better info however.
(There's so much to think of so it becomes a rather complex subject, even cable management can make a noticeable difference.)
Your setup seems a bit unique though, I thought most cases (Even from years back.) had one or two fans, at least for exhaust.
(Usually back of the case and venting trough a little mesh there or other possibility.)
There are exceptions though, it's probably not a big issue but I'm not that knowledgeable on how this works, or at least not in that great detail unfortunately.

Not a good idea in that case.
If it was a well ventilated case with lots of mesh etc for the air to escape then that would be ok.
But it's not, so you will want one flan blowing in and another blowing the hot air out, otherwise you will just be dumping hot air inside with no place to go.

While airflow in that case may get you one or two degrees, you need a better CPU cooler to really make a difference. Get rid of that air duct as well,it obstructs airflow.
One intake at the bottom front of your case (looks like you have room for it there), exhaust on the rear. Don't use the side intake, that will break up the airflow and force hot air from the videocard in two directions rather than straight up into the airflow.
As for CPU coolers, see if you can still find a Fenrir around you, or perhaps a cheap H60. Both should come with 775 brackets.
As for your actual system..2 GB would definitely be worth it, but you might as well see if you can find a better used 775 CPU. Even a Q6600 would benefit you as it has a higher stock speed already.

Yeah just look for used parts, spending money on new parts for such an old PC really isn't worth it (except for the RAM, which is dirt cheap)

I bought an Arctic cooler when I first bought my E8500, it sucked. Then I switched to a Noctua, I don't remember which type exactly. It's huge, but I've never seen my OCd E8500 go over 50 degrees. My case has no airflow whatsoever since whatever cooler I attach to it causes resonance (on top of the resonance causes by the HDDs). I'll never touch an Antec case again.
I can vouch for Noctua.

) or whatever near you. 1mm thick should fit, should also stop all resonance.
