Cooling Questions
Hi
I have a Dell Dimension 8300 on which I want to improve the cooling. I want to do this because I know the PC overheats after about 1 hr and is quite unstable. There is currently the fan in the PSU and a fan on the back which is vented to act as the CPU fan. I also added a PCI fan to cool the VGA card. I can't add a fan which goes into a 5.25" bay because I don't have a spare bay, and I can't find any other pre-cut vents for fan addition. I think a fan sucking air in would help a lot, but there isn't really anywhere to put one. Does anybody have any ideas or advice? For example, would changing the HS on the northbridge chip to a HS/fan be useful? Thanks Peter Cavan |
