I forgot that my temp monitor ulility wasn't running and I was ripping/encoding a bunch of CDs last night. All of a sudden the comp shuts down...I think...wth? Turn it back on and realize that it's hot enough to boil water. I turned on the temp monitor and the CPU was almost 90*C!
Oops. I let it cool down, then started using my external DVD drive to rip stuff. Anyway, I HATE this tiny case that I have. Not only does the cooling ability of it suck, but its really loud too. What moron designed this thing where the PSU is directly above the CPU?
The heat of the optical drive combined with the mp3 encoding is really what sent the CPU over the top though.
I need some recommendations on a slightly larger case that will be VERY QUIET and cool. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I have this MOBO:
Asus P4P800-VMThis CPU:
Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz
This Case:
Antec ARIA. Small form-factor PC case
