over heating woes

I'm still over heating a little bit.... not as bad as I was the last couple of weeks. I cleaned out all the dust bunnies, and installed MSI afterburner to speed up the fans. I plan on cutting out a side of the case and add another fan. Its mainly the gpu, and motherboard that over heat into the 70*c

 

I would suggest reading http://icrontic.com/article/pc_airflow_heat_cooling_guide

 

I have yet to have my gup run under 90 deg, cel...

 

yeah its a evga gts 250

 

ok I took apart the card and cleaned it out real good. Also been trying different things out. Today I was playing 4 different videos on youtube, and noticed everything started getting choppy like when playing MWO. I looked at the temps on my computer and this is what it showed CPU-27*C Mainboard-75*C GPU-45-50*C Now to figure out why the mainboard is overheating yay!!! I cleaned it pretty good

 

I don't know anything about your system, but I will through out some general suggestions. Check your fans. More specifically the direction the flows. I've seen a problem like your describing because the guy had 4 fans all drawing air INTO the tower. Swapping his highest fans around so they blew out helped ALOT. After that I'd look at the cpu voltage. You could be oc'ing your cpu or northbridge. Without knowing anything about your computer though can't help to much.

 

sorry guys I forgot to post up that my overheating woes are gone. The small little fan on the South Bridge was clogged with dust. Dust was inside the heat sinks as well. Cleaned it up real good and works like a charm!!!

 

I've got 3 fans, a 200mm intake in the bottom front, 120mm exhaust in the top rear, and 120mm exhaust at the top. Works great for me. The hottest I ever get is about 70 deg C in my graphics card.

Now my laptop... that thing got up to about 100 deg C playing MWO o_0

 

so yeah I've noticed in the last couple of weeks. A new issue has risen, my audio cuts in and out(normal audio level to super quiet)

 

Try usb speakers or headsets. Normal jacks aren't made like they used to be when everyone and their mother had a Walkman. Just in general the headphone speaker jacks are made for crap anymore. Unless you have a good soundcard like http://www.soundblaster.com/products/sound-blaster-recon3d-fatal1ty-champion.aspx

 

I have this for my audio setup
