Taste the Rainbow!
So just when I thought I got all the kinks worked out and everything running smoothly, BAM!
Heres what I got
AMD 64x2 6000+
4 x 1GB DDR2 800 Crucial Balistix RAM
ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe motherboard
XFX nVidia 8800GTX 768mb
Samsun SpinPoint T Series 7200RPM 3Gb/s 500GB SATA Hard drive
Philips DVD+RW / CD+RW
Anyway, so I'm having some heat issues with my CPU. My MoBo will sit right around a relatively cool 40-45C. The CPU is another story. Within minutes of getting into World of Warcraft, or BF2142 the heat goes up well over 65C, and even over 70C at times. Even running at 800x600 pixels with all anti-aliasing turned off, and most other graphical settings turned to medium, I still se rising CPU temps. The CPU came pre-coated with heat transfer goo, and the heatsink and CPU fan are sitting snuggly on top of it. I currently have a 120mm exhaust case fan and and an 80mm fan for itnake on the front. Theres also a third fan that is attached to the heatsinks on the motherboard to cool them as well. I don't think airflow is the problem, because neither the motherboard or even the 8800GTX are getting anywhere near as hot at the CPU. This is realy the first computer I've built from the groud up, so if anyone out there with a bit more experience can give me some pointers here, it would be a great help.
