    fixed my other problem by finding my windows cd + installing it in a new folder ( gah im lazy )

    but. yeah. im running HOT .

    from everest -
    mobo - 37c / 99f
    cpu - 60c / 140f
    pwm - 75c / 167f
    hd - 40c / 104f

    i've got an asus silent square on the cpu
    120mm fan in the back and an 80mm on the side .

    do i need more ?
    my temps rose to about 67c a few mins ago and it alarmed me .

    do i need more fans ( i do )/ where to put them ?

    i have a couple spare 80mm fans but im just asking where to put them right now -

    edit -

    how would i cut a hole in the top of my case ?
    i was thinkin pull at the front and push at the back with an 80mm fan each ?

    Apart from your hard disk which is running a normal temp the rest are below the norm

    Hi, just a quick note in passing,

    Dont forget to place you fans so that the air comes in from one direction and is blown out the other, rather than have a fan in the front with intake and a fan in the back with intake otherwise the airflow is compromised.

    If you can feel the air blowing out both ends then this is not efficent for air cooling, vica versa if you dont feel it blowing out at least one end of the pc then both are intakes. you bascially want the flow of air, regardless of how many fans you have in total, coming in from on direction and out the other, just turn them around if required..i like to have the air coming in through the front and exiting the back rather than haveing the htter air from the power supply and the cpu heatsink cooking my drives and dvd players.

    You probably know all this.

    Anyway have a good one, your pc specs for temp will be online somwhere at the makers website or in the manual.
