Hello,
I'm wanting to overclock my CPU, it's an AMD Phenom II x4 BE 125w.
My idle temps are around 40c, my load temps are around 68c/70c
I've just finished removing 3 case fans which were top and back (exhaust) and side intake, I also have a front intake which is still there.
My temps have since decreased to 35c idle and 57c/60c load.
I can't think of why this is, I thought my fans were set up correctly? I was using Antec TrueQuiet fans so it seems they were doing more bad than good.
My case is this one. it's a bottom psu case.
Can anyone recommend any way to successfully cool my case? I thought I had it set up right but maybe not, or maybe the fans are just rubbish.
Should I get watercooling if I'm overclocking or can I avoid that?
Thanks.
