it is... its fine during normal summer weather but todays extra warm
attics just arnt good for PC`s, i think even a proffesional water cooler would have a temp increase under this weatheranyone know where i can buy a small AC unit ?
there all so damn expensive only want to spend about £40 on it as i wont be here for ever.
EDIT: dropped OC to 2.6Ghz, voltage to stock, saved 2oC
should help a little, i found a little AC unit on fleebay for £20 but i dont know how well it will work, it works off ice packs and presumably at that price your only going to get cool air for as long as the ice packs hold out then youl have to run to your freezer and spend a couple of hours freezing them again... not ideal...

well a barton will take 50oC at idle, basically anything up to 65oC is fine for them, (ran my XP2800 Barton at idle of 55 for 2 years) but if you want to be comfortable when using your pc, dont move into the attic, mine s a proper conversion, its bloody freezing in winter and cooking in summer, you get about 4 months of grace, march/aprill and october/november after that its always going to be too cold or too hot.
