Xblade case woes....

digisatman · 14 Apr 2007 at 23:00

Hi all,

A few months ago when i bought my pc, thought the xblade case was awesome, a couple of weeks later, was sick of the blue leds all over the place...

The main leds are at the side case fan, would it be ok just to disconnect the fan? It extracts only a little air, so i dont think it ishould make that much different to temperature.

so would it be ok to yank the power cable from side fan?

Cheers

Should be fine, you can always plug it back in if the temps go up too much.

as dave said.. Should be fine just keep an eye on it.. And change your case the antec 900 is so much better!

Or an Akasa Eclipse which is much, much better

i unplugged the side and front fan out, much quieter now, + no cheap blue lights!!!

but, temp has gone up a little, used to idle before at about 43, now its about 46,

Processor is amd sk939 4000+,

should this be ok?

That'll be fine mate

what temps can these processors normally take on a long-term basis?, ie, what the range to keep them idling at?

also, what does everyone else idle at?

Idle temps mean very little. It's load that counts. So long as it's under 70, you're not causing it any serious damage. Ideally, it's best to keep these running under 60.
