need help with raditor.

they have like a pouch kinda thing that fills with koolent to heat up the hds.

there I fixed it for ya

[ryguy425425]

Got an air conditioner? I had my computer by my AC (probably about 4 inches to the left) and I found it droped the temp by 10-15 degrees under load. I'm currently at about 32 idle, 40 load (acording to my fan controller), but the ambient temperature is about 20c lately.

awwwwwww my computer is crazy! speed fan is say im at 75c but core temp is always at 37-45. idk wats going on. i have read b4 that this mobo is known to have a bad temp sensor. should i trust core temp? like y would the temperatures be so differnt? i also have cpuid hardware monitor and it says 65 for temp0. some one help my computer has been turning off on its own lately it might be due to over heating but my cpu only turns off if the core dieod reeachs 90c

Could you post the output of SpeedFan? Particularly, the 'Exotics' tab. It shows all of the readings, that sometimes don't show on the main tab. Sometimes SpeedFan gets confused and labels temp readings wrong. Also, MBB temp monitors in general tend to not be all that exact for various reasons, so I wouldn't be horribly surprised if something is just putting out the wrong temp.

wtf!!!! i took the video card water block out of the equation ans stupid speed fand has my temp 1 at 55 idle and jump up to the 60 out of nowhere some times and my computer shut down on its own again but it took all day this time for it to do it. core temp is still in the 30's. i touched my south bridge heat sink and that thing gets hot could this be a problem.

[x88x]

Yes, that could definitely be a problem. Any control chip (CPU, NB, SB, GPU, etc) getting too hot will cause instability. Do you have good airflow over the heatsink for the NB and SB?

[pepe123]

not at all i have a mother board cover! if u look at my mobo. the asus m2n sli deluxe it have a copper hetsink fot the south bridge thats wat is geting hot.

If the chipset/mosfet heatsink on yours the same design as this one?

I can't tell from the picture you posted; does your MBB cover also cover up those fins above the mosfets? If so, I'm gonna say that's probably where your problem is. Without adequate cooling, either one of those overheating could cause system instability. I would recommend either watercooling both of those components or opening up the design of your MBB cover and getting some airflow through those fins. If you stay aircooling them, you shouldn't need to get much airflow over the chipset itself (though it wouldn't hurt), just get it through the fins and the heatpipe will pull the heat off the chipset.

ya its that model. dam idk how im guna fit a fan in there. i almost just wanna do a whole new build.haha. wat size fan do recommend?

[x88x]

IDK, whatever'll fit. The larger your go, the more air you'll be able to move per dBA, but there's always a tradeoff between silence and what you can fit in.
