What is the cooling situation with your case fans? Internal/room ambient temp?

My room temp is like 25. My case side is off as well, haven't tried a box fan. My case fans,,well since my mobo is very limited on headers, i grabbed an adapter today and will add another intake. but as of now, i have 1 120mm exhaust, 1 80mm intake and i will be adding another 92mm intake (yes i know my airflow sucks).

EDIT: but it ran really hot even in my friends rig with really great airflow.

i dont think there are any mods you can do, what about an aftermarket cooler?

that thing looks like it could handle some serious overclocking.

DOnt worry to much about temps. These things can survive and run even past 100c

Again, I wouldnt be worrying if my card wasn't crashing at 75 degrees.

and @ Derek, i wanna try other things before resorting to buying an aftermarket cooler.

Edit: Just added the 92mm Fan to case for better intake. Temps on the GPU didn't really change.

How long since you applied to AS5? This thing takes a while to heal, sometimes even a few weeks; or maybe it wasn't applied correctly. Although it seems you know you know what you're doing =)

Maybe it's the heat of your CPU spreading to your GPU... Stock cooler, even on AS5, doesn't help keep your computer cool, especially with a CPU OCed to 3.0...

Yeah, I applied it a few days ago, and I know i still have to wait for it to cure. I will also replace my CPU HSF sometime soon, when I get the money for a TRUE 120.

Its not the temps when i first got a gts it ran at 80c load..

Yours crashes because it unstable.

Thanks for the link McStuff! Looks interesting. +Rep.

and @ Sublime. I dunno, we will see. I just changed around some stuff in my case and my temps are lower so we will see if it crashes now.

I actually just did that to my card with a thermal take 80mm fan. I kept the original fan on just for kicks. And I also took off the as5 the previous owner used and put on some ocz freeze. I idle at 45 and load at around 57.
