CPU Overheating!!

[Satan]

The stock fan that comes with the Prescott is barely able to provide any cooling esp if you are going to be OC'ing the machine. For best cooling I would suggest a HSF with a very dense netwrok of copper fins and a High-speed fan with minimal grill work. Thermaltake Sparc7 will do wonder for heat dissapation and dont forget the Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste (will definitley bring down the temp by a modest 5 deg which goes a long way when ur oc'ing) The key is the the case ventilation and circulation. Pack in a lot of fans which channle air off each other. That ought to provide more stable temperatures.

Thank you for that very timely reply,

1) Would you happen to know anybody other than Antec who sell Transperent fans for a lot lesser?

2) Also would you know where I could find temperature monitors with variable alarm settings for temperatures that fit in the 5.25 bay?

3) Cold Cathode Blue/Red/Green Tubes for internal case lighting?

1. Nope, no other brand is available, unfortunately.

2. No such thing is available, unfortunately

3. Again, u wont find it, unfortunately.

U'll have to source them from abroad.

That's what I was afraid of. Anyways, I have been in conversation with a Zebronics Distributor. He said he might be able to source transperent fans in the range of about Rs.60 to Rs.90. I hope it comes through. Watch this space for any further developments.

[taylor]

if u get them, do let us know too.. SunMysore has a tri-LED fan that came on his Zebronics case..

[Rave]

yup man, if u get them, please do post here, or in a new thread, been searching for them, but hell, all are of those crappy local made black sh1t :thumbsdown:
