Having just been playing a few games I am now just icing my hand after touching my case after a sudden BSOD. Yes it was THAT hot :(

Quite simply whilst the LL V1000+ looks the part I'm still hating the cooling :(

What I need is best case for keeping things from getting toasty using air only (can't afford much else right now :o)

Whats the best bet?
 
Stock ADDA's running at 800rpm each:

Intake over the HDD's
Extract at the rear

XP-120 w/ Akasa Amber
Passively cooled NB (Zalman bloo thingy)
7800GS w/ VF700

It's cooled right back down now since it rebooted and I haven't touched a game but it was verging on crazy hot :(

Fully loaded on both cores of an Opty 165 and I have: (from speedfan)

Temp1 (CPU iirc): 46C
Temp2 (NB): 60C
Temp3 (MOSFETS?): 64C
HD0: 37
HD1: 39

finally a second entry for temp1 at 40C.


In response to the heat I have cranked both adda's up to ~1500rpm
 
Having the rear as an intake cooked everything inside - all temps went up 5 - 10C so not keen to try that again...it also practically roasted the DVD drive/front of the case :(

Blower fan was connected but I found it mostly useless :(


//edit: new posts coming too fast - it's like tetris but harder :o

It has been stable until now - all sorts of crashing going on thats doing my head in :(

The fans are both running off an Akasa FC03 fan controller at minimum which is approx 5V. Airflow out the back is there but minimal at best.

Core Temp proggie has both cores pegged at around the 53C mark
