Forum Overview :: The processor wars are hotting up.

My PC gets pretty hot during BioShock by Ice Cream Jonsey 09/14/2007, 1:03pm PDT The power supply, in fact, gets almost too hot to touch. The case is fairly cramped, with not a whole lot of space. I've started taking the side off the case to allow more heat to escape, but that's pretty ghetto. Anybody have a solution that they like? I have seen 5 1/4 bay devices that have fans in them, but that just seems to move the already hot air around more, instead of whisking it out of there. The processor itself isn't too hot (there is a giant, spindly heat sink on top of it) but with all the heat generated by the power supply, the entire PC becomes this giant hot box. I'm thinking I could just get a bigger case. Bioshock is the only game that heats the thing up to this degree. ICJ
