Nuclear Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 you may want to get some case fans. That's what I was thinking, you gonna get warm without any circulation the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pureghetto Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 With that sort of temperature you might not get very far O/C. I have 3 case fans and I coulldn't get past 3.29 (gah couldn't break the 3.3) mark without it failing. My "benchtest" is it surviving an intense game of warcraft 3 haha....when it was up to 3.34/3.36, it would spontaneously reboot while playing. Oh well....
