Cooling Revamp,
hey guys long time no see, eh!
so im sitting here watching temps and things during a round of TF2 and i realize things are getting hot, like mid 60's, on my HD 3870.
and then i check temps on my processor and they are about 40-45(dipping up and down).
so im in the search for a cooling revamp, dumping the stock cooler on my phenom 9600 and on my HD 3870 for something that will drop things pretty well.
also i think my case could be culprit, its a thermal take shark and it was designed for water cooling, its case door isnt solid, just a huge crate, and its not really sealed well, vents and holes all around for various hoses.
so im open to suggestions, CPU, video card, and case options.
perhaps this might help, perhaps not. living in alaska its winter 9 months out of the year here so the house is sealed and the heater is running full 24/7
