Hello, this is My first post and i hope to get some insight on my issue.
I purchased A HP awhile back, And found a good used case online for 20$.
It has a spot for 6 fans, And it has led lights that change.
There is one Fan on The side of The Case pannel, blowing air in,
One inside sucking air out, And a DC brushless Fan blower blowing out hot air also.
I only Had one fan inside My old HP case, And the Motherboard, Aswell As The Processor Always stayed under 30 C While Idle.
A little Background.
I purchased A Galaxy Geforce 210 Video Card, Brand new for about 30$.
Card worked great, But i felt 45-50C Idle was a little to hot.
So i removed The Heatsink on the GPU, And i cleaned off the Stock Thermal Paste,
And applyed Some Artic Silver Past.
When the computer boots up, or when it was left in standby, The card's fan would make a bad fan noise, And if you stopped it with your finger, Reversed it in motion A few times, It would Be fine.
well yesterday i got on my pc, And noticed That the card was really Really hot, almost 60-C on Idle. So i looked, and sure enough The fan had almost Stopped.
The Guy who i bought the case off of, gave me a fan that plugs into your power supply, And with 4 pieces of sticky tape, applyed A New Fan to My Video Card.
My issue is now, That this case Get's hotter on My hardware Then The old HP case.
Could This Be Because Of It being bigger? I noticed all The fans were sucking,
And none blowing into it. So i switched one around, The temps Right now Are -
27 C - CPU
29 C - MB
35 C - Graphics.
It is alot cooler since i switched the fan around,
But there still not Stable at 20+ C.
Would A Bigger Case, Need more cooling? i'm sure it would.
Specs Are -
Intel Pentium E2220 @ 2.40GHz
5.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz (6-6-6-18)
PEGATRON CORPORATION Benicia (CPU 1)
1024MB GeForce 210 (nVidia)
Thank You.
