Here is a question, why is it my pc heats up my room like 10 degrees. Seriously, the area near the computer is way hotter than any other area of my room. (even with all fans at full speed)
The PC seems to be well ventalated, its up on a shelf about 2 feet off the ground and it has 4 fans not includong the power supply fan. The power supply only has one fan and i have changed the processor fan on the computer to an 80mm versus the 60 mm that was there. I don't think this is normal output for a pc. Also the other day I was playing a game (D+D Demon Stone) and after like 8 hours of perfect game play, video got a lil shaky and my pc restarted.
Parts are as follows: Guardain mid case, amd athalon 3200+, 400w oroian PSU, dvd rw, cd rom, floppy, 8 n 1 card reader, 4 channel fan controller, 5 80 mm fans, also 1 blue CC, 1 green CC, and 2 uv CC.
Any help on this would be appreciated. At the moment I'm thinking of upgrading to a 64bit processor and board but would really like to go a lil longer until the really drop in price. For now I've ordered a new PSU a 520w (its premoded, sleeved and has 2 fans). I'm hoping this will help. Any ideas?
