Hi, At the moment my Pc is sitting in my Coolermaster Wavemaster which is great.... Apart from the fact that everything cooks in this thing,
Ages ago my graphics card (X850Xt pe) used to overheat loads in bf2 (about 90c) so i bought an arctic silencer for it, it made my gpu about 38c idle as opposed to about 48 and 50 full load as opposed to 90ish!!! so that was a good improvement heat wise, however a problem i havent quite been able to fix is the cpu,
It was my intention to get my 4000+ at FX55 speeds when i bought it, but i found that my cpu is too hot to make this possible. At the moment it sits at 44c idle and god knows how much in game, ive got a akasa ak859 on it running at 4000rpm, and its like 43db!!!!.
I think my case is suffering because of a lack of air intake, on my 3 blank drives spaces you can hear and feel the air rushing in the gaps and it kinda whistles like its pulling in air through there, so what i was going to do was get a Coolermaster 4-in-3 Module to convert my 3 spaces to a 120mm fan intake and then install a Arctic Freezer 64 Pro for my cpu to improve the cooling and noise, will this fix my problems? do you have any suggestions, Cheers
EDIT: Do you think that the 120mm might create outtake probs? if so will a better 80mm fan sort it out?
