Hey folks, i've been reading these forums for a while and I finally decided to join.
I need your opinions on something.
I have this case : http://www.soyo.com.tw/products/proddesc.php?id=184
So far i've modded a 120mm fan to the top inside and put a grill over it to keep crap out, and I have it running as an exhaust. This, of course is running along with two 80mm case fans front/back and the processor fan(also 80mm). Now for the longest time the CPU and Case temps ran even at around 35C idle and roughly 40C load. But just recently it started running a Case temp of about 41C idle and almost 50C load. Now i'm just new to the modding community and i'm asking if these newer temps are good or bad. From what i've gathered, between 30C-45C are where I wanna be. Also my current room temp is 72F.
Here are my spec:
Intel P4 1.7GHz(OC'd to 2.0GHz)
Via P4PA 400MHz FSB mainboard
384Mb of Corsair PC2100 Ram(default speed)
gForce4 MX440SE 128Mb(OC'd to 275MHz Core speed and 352MHz Memory speed)
Keep in mind that I was running these specs before the temperature change.
So if anyone can offer any ideas as to why the temp increase all of a sudden, i'd sure appreciate it.
Also, I was wondering if I should turn the top fan around and use it as another intake instead of exhaust. Or is that a bad idea?
