Hi All,

Last Night i removed one of the old 80mm fans which i had attached to my Elite 332 Cabinet, this fan was directly blowing (intake) to the Graphics Card, from few days it etarted making a hell lot of noise when my pc is running. After removing the Fan i could see the idle graphics card temperature be 50C, after Playing Prince of Persia i saw its temperature as 62C, when the fan was there idle temp used to be 43-45 and after playing Games it used to be 55-56. Is this temperature of Graphics Card fine after removing the fan.

The temparature is just fine & is in the safe limit.

Though it's better if the temp stays even lower. Why don't you a attach a new fan.

Its well within safety limit, but lower is better, a 80mm fan costs 40/-, get a new one.

The one is removed is a old one which had cost me Rs50/- I have a other 80mm fan which i had removed from my old Mercury Kobian cabinet, will try using that. Do we get any Vibration dampener to attach to the fan, so that to avoid the vibrations, i will connect it to the grill which is present to the side of the cabinet, i mean the grill below the chimney of the side panel.

I don't think something like that exists, if the fan vibrates too much you can buy a new one or try attatching rubber washers.

While going through eBay i found one of this, *cgi.ebay.in/Vantec-Fan-Vibration-D...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:1|65:1|39:1|240:1318 . I need to know is this available in most of the stores. If so i dont wanna spend 250 Rs for just that rubber kit.

Hey I am suffering from Serous Overheat Issues. on my Storage PC
My PC P4[515]-90nm 2.93Ghz
My Core Temp reaches 70C at normal workload OMG
Where as My other Component have Temp of 35C~40C like HDD and GPU.
I don't Use this PC to work , just use it for storage. But the fan Noise is irritating.
and After reaching 70C There is am major slowdown in performance.
Where as my other PC with C2D has a Core temp of 40C max- I play games and do all the stuff in this PC and even after 4 Days of Continuous work the Temp never Reaches above 45C.
Does this Indicate any problem with My storage PC?
Do I need to Change the Fans? cause they seem to work fine at 4k+RPM
I have a 80mm Fan at the Exhaust and a large CPU fan which Runs at very high RPm[Forgot Speed].
Please Suggest What do i do.

Thanks

How do you measure the temperatures?
Remove HSF, clean its contact surface and also processor surface with Isopropyl Alcohol. Apply grain size of MX-2 or AS5 thermal paste on the centre of processor and properly reinstall HSF. Ensure that the cabinet is well ventilated with at least one inlet and two more outlet fans.

Yes I fixed everything and now it works fine.
No more noise and CPU temp is 42C normal load and 50C high load.

Your idle CPU temp is very high. It should be around 40-45C but load temp is OK.

Get thermal Paste like Arctic Silver 5 or MX. If you don't find them then get Coolermaster Nano.

Here's the instruction :

my graphic card idle temp is around 47-48 C {palit ATI RADEON HD 4850 1 GB GDDR3}
is it ok...... my load temperature on running POP-SOT is around 50-52 C ....
Here the room temp is around 25-28 C

I am planning to take this system to pilani{where summer temps exceeds 50 C} ... ne suggestions???

well... ac there is practically not possible...ne other suggestion...room temp will not be 50 ...it will be around 35-38 ...
 
then go for Real big cabinet...ASUS provides u vid them....but at hefty prices if u need real gud 1....Go for 3 Fans....Front,back n one side....apply thermal paste n thats it....u r ready to rock

You gfx card temp is just fine. In summer time your gfx temp will rise upto 55 @ idle & 65-68C under load which is still some good temp.

You don't have to woory about temps......
