How does everyone cool their PC?

Postby Dowdy on Fri Nov 08, 2002 10:41 pm

Since it's summer here now, every time i use my computer it start to lag because of the heat so i took off my tower case and placed a 15cm desk fan in front of my mobo to cool it.

How does everyone else cool their comp?

everyone has atleast 2 fans in their comp (CPU fan and powersupply fan)

If you use liquid nitrogen, i'm guessing you work for cray :wink:

CPU fan, PSU fan, 80mm case fan in the back, and two 90mm fans on the side and top a la Maxtop Cool Case.

their product line is available here

Available from NewEgg.com for an excellent price, available in a multitude of colors, the gray model even without a PSU for a really top-notch one.

Superfluid helium...runs that little P4 1.7GHz at 25GHz. :)
Just kidding...other than the PS fan, I've got 3 case fans plus 2 on the hard drives (5 7200RPM drives make a lot of heat!).
