i ran AIDA32 and found this
a few questions...Code:Temperatures:
CPU 44 °C (111 °F)
Aux 39 °C (102 °F)
what is Aux? and If i got a few more case fans (thinking about getting 3) would this use alot of voltage/wattage and would it cool my pc down a few °Cs?
1. how many watt's is your PSU?
2. how many case fans do you have now?
3. i assume you are using stock heatsink/thermal paste?
if so you could apply some arctic silver 5 thermal paste as opposed to the stock thermal pad, this would drop it a few degrees
you probably also want to get a more sufficient airflow running through your case, so yes more fans would help
1. I have no idea (seriously)
2. 1 that came with my new case (side intake fan)
3. Yup (I dare not fk with my processor, i would proberly snap it)
Hope it helps :unsure:
Normal fans use 3 or 4 Watts each, and from your remark I would guess your PSU is the only gadget expelling air from your case. When so, yes, case fans would lower your case temps.Quote:

Those temps you name are a bit odd though.
44° C for your CPU could be idle, or full load.
39° C is unlikely to be your case temp. It is too high for that.
You really should give more info before anything sensible can be said.
Please state:
What CPU?
CPU cooler?
can you take temp. readings ? (like with one of those cheap 'inside/outside' digital thingies.)
What board?
How many disks?
what graphics card?
try using motherboards monitor 5 it should label the temps properly...should.
that 39 degrees im guessing is either hard drive temp or video card temp, but i doubt it, its probably hard drive..

P4 1.6GHz
don't know cpu cooler (all i kno is that it's a heatsynk)
Asus P4266
1 CD-RW 1 DVD drive 2 Hard Drives
ATI 9200
i might be able to get one of those cheap inside outside things sometime over the weekend if its needed. :)
i'm not touching motherboard monitor :lol: last time i installed it I had my heatsink fan on full for about 2 hours and couldn't turn it down! :lol:Quote:

I stuck my hand behind my pc (dunno why) but i couldn't fell any air being blown out from my psu which i know is bad news :unsure:

hmm well that sucks then...i dont know any other programs that will label teh temperatures, but u could try running speedfan to get the temperatures and just post us every temperature it has...there will probably be 4 or 5, and if it happens to change teh speed of ur fan then u can change it back because its speedfan...
oh and yeah u should be feeling air coming out of the psu, atleast SOME air. if i feel mine I just feel a really tiny amount of air, but there is some coming out, its running at slow speeds and is really quiet :) .
u mean that?Code:VCORE : 1.74V
+12V : 11.98V
+3.3V : 3.38V
+5V : 5.11V
VIN2 : 15.50V
+5VSB: 5.03V
VBAT : 2.02V
:lol: i kinda got a headache so i was thinking properly, no i meant temperatures lol. i cant beleive i mixed them up lol sorry 'bout that.Quote:

Marius, I think we have your problem here.Quote:

By inserting air directly to the CPU, you create a short circuit.
The air goes through your CPU heatsink, and most of it disapears into the PSU inlet and gets expelled.
The volume of air removed by PSU will almost be equal to the volume of air inserted by the case fan in the side panel.
This way the air in the bottom half isn't refreshed, and gets heated more and more.
Is there a way to lower the RPM of the case fan?
If so, try to set it as low as possible.
Then add a low revving fan in the front of your case (low down)
Edit: corrected typo

Nice Voltages.
Dont know what that VIN2 is, but the rest look fine, nice 12V line, 11.98....
Also, as for the 39C temperature, thats usually your Case temp, but if thats the case then you have a very hot case, and need better fan management. My case is 29C right now....
my mum is ordering me 4 case fans over the weekend to go with the case window and lights im getting :D
Can you get us a picture of your case?Quote:

So we can help you assess proper placement, and orientation of them.

i have a Chieftec Dragon DX-01 Silver ATX Case :)
it has 2 fan spaces at the front and 2 at the back. The one at the side I have running :)
Nice Voltages.Quote:

isn't it ment to be 12V? :unsure:

its actually good, because the voltages usually arent exactly right on what they are supposed to be. being only .02 off is actually really good.
cool :D
so would a few case fans cool my case down abit? I currently only have my psu putting out alittle air :unsure:
yes it will bring the temps WAY down.Quote:

i have the same case with 2 tornado fans in the back, 1 in the side and 1 behind the hard drives. it stays really cool, but loud and irritating. last nite i had my temps down to 22C and 20C (CPU/case) but i had the door of the house open and it was kinda cool outside. there was cold air coming in the house right at floor level, so i guess the fans were sucking in the cold air.
i am proberly going to get 4 fans and palce 2 at the front and 2 at the backQuote:
