Hey all, I'm looking for the best cooling options for use with a 1055T in a PCV 354. I'm currently running a corsair H50 in it but I've been getting temps up to 79c when playing Rift. This simply won't do. I have a 4890 in there with it, could this be putting out too much heat as well? I'm looking for cost effecient options here folks, or I may be selling my PCV 354 and just getting a full size case.
 
sell the 4890 & but something a little more power effecient. Also a cheap way may be to get one of those PCI slot fans & put it right below the video card to suck that heat out. Also do you have the h50 cooler on an intake or an exhaust.
 
The H50 is on one of the intakes in the front. What would be a decent replacement for the 4890? Again, I would like to keep the costs down so nothing that's too top end.
 
ok if you have the h50 on an intake then the video card shouldnt be effecting the CPU temp's.. Where are you reading 79c at?
 
In both CPUID and AMD Overdrive. It isn't oc'd at all. And while monitoring temps playing even black ops I was hitting 68c. It idles at 28c.
 
Honestly I dont think its going to get any better in that case. Maybe add a 2nd fan for push/pull
 
Would you suggest another case? I guess I would even go up to a standard case provided it isn't that big. I'm kind of at a loss here.
 
No I wouldnt.. Something else is driving your temps up.. maybe a bad thermal grease application..
