Over Heating problems

[C McCarter]

Hi

I have a Silverstone TJ01 Case and my rig is listed in my sig. The problem I am having is that my cpu is running at around 45-50C with no load and can get up to 65C while gaming. My case temps are in the high 50's with Hard drives around 45C. I have an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 on my cpu with AS 5 thermal compound and stock cooling on my GPU. I have one 80mm Fan in the back, two 60mm fans for intake on the front (stock) and I have created two side fans in the case by drilling out the holes. those two fans are 120mm (blowing on the GPU) and due to space a 92mm for the cpu. The temps are generally not too bad cpu mid 30s and gpu 50s when my room is cooler, and no air conditioning is not an option. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to bring down these temps short of taking the side panel off or buying a new case. Thanks

Colin

Cut a hole in the top of the case for a "blowhole". Remember 3rd grade science, hot air rises? That should help out a lot.
Also you could swap out the 60mm and 80mm fans for higher powered fans, or personal favorite cut bigger holes and use 120mm fans.

Not only do 120mm fans push more air, they are quieter, and have a lower tone.

Pretty much only thing you can do is get better fans, blowhole might help a little bit but not that much.

Seems to me you have more air blowing in than out.

I would hardly call those overheating problems. In fact, those temps are perfectly normal for a well-ventilated case with proper coolers. Overheating would be your CPU and GPU reaching 80-90°C, even then those temps are within specs for many cpus and gpus.
