    my setup runs pretty cool or it did until i got the game fear. after id say 20 mins my bfg 6800gt vid card gets to hot, start to see odd images and eventually locks up. i know its the cooling issue cause i turned the a/c on for a bit and it played fine. but the weather is getting cooler and no need to run the a/c. case is a antec lan boy with 2 120mm fans and a nice size cooler and 2 fans on the vid card. vid card reached 92 degc when i checked while playing the game and inside the case reached 132degf i dunno how else to keep it cool. thanks

    Hey go to the post "another one from this chick" in the case and modding It is about managing wiring. I dont know if this is something you have thought about but I do know that when I re did the wiring on my first computer it brought it WAY down. It is something to consider if you havent already. I have posted several pics there on what I did to my sons gaming computer that may help you out. Halo posted a website that would be very helpful as well. i dont know if this is your problem but may be worth looking into. :)
