Cooling Question

Hello,

I just got some new parts for my Dell Dimension 4700.

Conect 3d X800 GTO Video card and upgraded to 2 Gigs.

ATI Tool Shows my Video Card Running about 43 Degree's On Idle with 61% Fan speed. And 58-60 under stress.

My main GPU is around 50-55 and drops under 49 every now and then On Idle and gets a bit high when under stress around 62 I have a 120MM Aspire CoolingFan Inserted in the front facing the back. At the bottom near my HDD's.

And I have a small floor fan blowing air in twards the back through a hole I have in my case. Would you say these are good. Temps to be gaming safely?

 

Generally yes... the max for video cards is 65-70. What i did since i have just a heatsink is i took a blower and pointed it straight at the heatsink... cools it and ocs nicer. But yeah those are pretty nice temps!

 

Updated, Temps are down around 33c Idle 50c Under stress. Switched my Fan arrangments around and Took off my Side Panel and used it as like an Air tunnel it releases air out through the front but gets good flow inside.

 

nice! congrats
