Hi all
I bought a p.c last week with the following main configuration:
Quad core 2.4 ghz G0 Stepping
8600 GT galaxy
2 x 1GB ram
DG33 Mobo
LG Dvd writer
320 HDD
Coolermaster extreme 600W PSU
I am using a cpu temperature monitor.
Now my cpu temperature during idling is somewhere in between 40-42 deg C on 1st and 3rd core while 37 deg C on 2nd and 4th core.
When I play games the temperature shoots to 50 deg C. But it comes down to 42deg C when i close the games.
I have a normal ATX cabinet with provision for 3 additional fans(2 in the back side below SMPS and 1 on the side panel)
I have only installed one 80mm fan below SMPS.
Should i go for additional fans to dissipate the heat?I mean if the temperature of CPU is 42 deg C in winters then what will happen in summers when outside temperature itself becomes 40-42 degrees.I live in Delhi.
I have read on the net that people are achieving 40 degrees and less when overclocking at stock coolers on a quadcore processor.I am not overclocking the CPU but still idle temperature is high.Should I install 2 more fans??
please suggest some solution at the earliest...
