jimval Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 my chipset temps seem a bit high 51c, pwmic is 48c, cpu is 32c. i'm using smartguardian.:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfital Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 well, until it reaches 58 its still more then fine... but if you wanna lower it to the 45ish zone... then 1. get yourself an evercool vc-re, search the forum, you'll see where to buy it 2. just put a nice 80mm (or bigger) fan blowing to that area... Â i'd go with 1. it aint expensive, and it really lowers the heat+noise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimval Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 that looks like it wont fit, my pci-e slot with my ati card has about a 1 mill. clearance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfital Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 its the same size as the dfi stock cooler. i wouldnt just state something... its works great. almost half the people around here has it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDude05 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 It will fit. Many people here including Happy_Games who tests A LOT of different hardware combinations. He has tested it with most if not every DFI board and various brands of ATI and Nvidia cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gan0l3 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I agree, mine went from 55-56 to 44-45 after installing vc-re. well worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimval Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 kool thank-you, i'll pick 1 up today. as for the chipset cooling with my case i'm most likely going to have to add a side case fan for cooling towards the cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
