Exhausting!!

HI all.

Im looking at finding a decent solution for getting the heat out of the pc as it seems to be running hot all the time?

i have a thermal take case but all the fans died and then my watercooled cpu cooler leaked and died so i put in a Cooler Master High Performance V8 Version 2 Triple Tower CPU Cooler

but its cookin here most of the time..

if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you have good airflow in the case 2 fans pulling in on the front one at the back will make a big difference i recommend Be quiet fans if your after some.

It would help if you told us which actual case it is so that we can see what cooling options it has. Something is not right with your setup though if all the fans died together.

Yeah, maybe a faulty fan controller is killing your fans, if your using one, test the voltage if you have a multi meter or just get rid.

the fans died through age im guessing as its an old case..... and the box runs 24/7

So you've just got a CPU fan running and no case fans? I think that might be your problem right there. You need to get the heat out of the case so the CPU cooler can do it's job.

Create more pressure at the front, e.g. more good fans driving in cool air, rear fan driving out works more effectively.

Two in the front one in the rear.

Get a triple pack of 120mms. For a i5-3500K and a GTX 780 you need at least that many fans.
