I am new with all this OC and case mod stuffs. I want to tell how hot my CPU and case temp are. Can anyone help me out? I got an AMD 3200 and use 100% of the CPU all the time running simulation. My pc is stock from the shelf, so it has only 1 case fan and no extra places to add more fans. I just got 2 fans and taped them to the side of the case to bring in extra cool air. It seems to bring the case temperature down a lot. My CPU is a little warm, but it's cool now in the room. If it's summer time, I won't be able to benefit from the extra cool air coming in.
Can someone help me find a way to measure the temp and set up some cooling scheme? I thought about getting a Antec case (server tower) on sale from bestbuy for 80 bucks. It's the biggest tower I have seen and comes with 450W power supply and 4 fans. But I just got my pc for like 2 weeks, so it's kinda wasteful to not use the case. The stock case is hot looking, but the front plastic cover actually restricts air flows.
