|  This summer is too hot Yeah, this summer in France is very hot, and my room temp is about 33c ! My PC3500 XMS module @ 400mhz doesn't support more than 3 pass in mem86, however my case is well cooled with 9 fans ! 3 fans to push fresh air inside, 5 fans to get out the warm air. Oups i forgot one fan to cool down my agp card. But even with all these fans the memory goes into errors after 3 pass ! What can i do now ? Thanks !

| you have an inbalance in your fan cooling ratio for lack of a better word...you should have half fans blowing in half blowing out...since you have 9 fans i would have at least 4 blowing in...maybe try 5 if bad results...if you have a blow hole on top..i would have 5 blowing in...4 out....if that doesnt help, then take your side cover off and get a room fan blowing air into the case...it will help for the next month or so till temps lower |

| I totally agree with you. I too would set 5 fans blowing air in and 4 out. Here in Luxembourg it's too hot too. We have 38C to 40C for a week now! My room temp gets near 30C. The problem is not the PC, the problem is that I can't survive at these temps!

| What summer? It has done nothing but rain here just about every other day or so for the whole summer and I don't believe it has gotten above 80F more than five days so far, and summer is over in a few weeks too!

 Finally had to invest in a/c electric bills due to having way to many days in the mid to high 90s and even had a few days in the 100s. This week and last has finally gotten back to more normal temps for a state that is further north than yours. | |

| You're creating a vacuum with your setup of fans. You should blow in more cubic feet per minute with fans than you blow out with fans. I'm talking here about a small margin. In you case 5 fans blowing in and four blowing out would be good. Assuming each transport the same cubic feet per minute. That's most efficient. |

| Situation normal here in sunny SoCal. It's been between 90-107°F every day for the past month. Supposed to be 109°F here today. No AC in my house either. Box fan, shorts and my wife spraying water mist on me is how I keep cool all summer. Same thing for my computer except for the water mist and the shorts!
