CPU heat stats on full load: 99°F (38°C, 311K)
CPU heat stats on idle load: 83°F (28°C, 301K)
5700u heat stats on full load (I mean 5900u load): 196°F (91°C, 364K)

other than the fact that i swapped the 5600 with the 5700u, everything seems normal...


if you consider a blazing inferno hot enough to bake a cake a normal affair...


anyone have any damn idea how to reduce the amount of heat my 5700u deals out? i mean, u touch the side of my case, itll feel like the window of an oven, literally!

i mean, just to see how hot it was in there, i left one of those easy bake cake mixes in the PC (fully isolated from the PC parts of course), and about 25 minutes later, it was DONE!!! its THAT FUCKING HOT! its a damn nuclear reactor!

and no, my 5700u is NOT overclocked.

that is so cool, just playing a game and 25 minutes late, ding oh my foods done but i don't have to run upstairs to get it, as long as it doesn't harm the computer whats the harm of having a pc/ easy bake oven

Oh come on Dman3,GCNa has got a real problem there we have to find a salution to cool his comp down before he burns the house down.

oh ok im sorry, how about trying a larger case, one of the cooling cases so that theres more room for airflow or moving whatever you can that is hot closer to the top of the case so the heat doesn't pull up

[mooseman2070]

do they have freezer cases? im serious that would be so awesome to have a freezer for your case. you could OC a P4e to 4 maybe 5 ghz

150 watt PSU?

5700u heat stats on full load (I mean 5900u load): 196°F (91°C, 364K)
5700u heat stats standard full load: 187°F (86°C, 359K)
5700u heat stats on idle load: 106°F (41°C, 314K)

I'm sorry, but I am dense. What is a 5700u?

[Duffman]

well they have cooler cases and stuff but i think there rather expensive, i think your best bet is to hit up google and type something like cooling cases or cooling computer cases

yes, this is a small form factor case, so the psu will be small

5700u = geforce fx 5700 ultra

btw thanx for all the replies
on a side note: i called zalman and found out that the 5700 ultra needs to have the bulky fan attachment with the heatsink, which rules it out, as my sff case does not have enough room

[Duffman]

well you can't expect to cram evrything into a small case and not have it turn into an oven
