Does any1 have an answer for me? I have a p4 3.2 HT and a Radeon X700 AGP and my comp freezes up from heat problems after two hours of playing COD. I have 5 Blue LED Cooler Master fans, but to no avail, my comp renders heat up to 160 degrees. Does any1 have a cure for my heat disease. |

While the 5 cooler master fans do help, they aren't going to solve all your problems. I'll talk to you on Xfire, and like to get more in detail. I think it may be your heatsink/fan unit is not functioning to its full potential. |

Is your CPU cramped inside walls of your Computer Table? Try placing it outside. I have no idea what I am saying so you don't have to listen to what I got to say. |

once my friend had a problem similar to that so he took off the whole side panel of his tower. that cooled it down a little so i suggested he stick a normal table fan towards the open side panel and i think he's been fine ever since. |

You might consider getting a hard drive cooler and memory cooler as well. Make sure your computer is in a room that is not real hot and well ventilated. And if your using conventional ribbons try switching to round cables that helps a great deal. |

my other PC overheated a lot and hung. i had to take the side off and use a table fan for a while. then i just added a bigger heatsink and fan to my processor, and plus a few other case-mounted fans in the tower. works fine now |

I've always been careful about overheating after the fan on my graphics card wasn't working and it went unnoticed, until the graphics card got fried lmao. On the subject of fans, i've got about 5 fans mounted inside this computer and about 4 on my other computer. The other computer has software to tell me the temp. It runs at about 50 degrees. I don't have a clue about this current computer. |

Is it by any chance A-Bit? I was think of getting an A-Bit 3500+ motherboard at some pont as they come with A-Bit clocks to put on your desk. |
