Running F@H full out can test your cooling skills.

You can set the cpu to a lower usage (it's 100% by default), and that will help. You can also just run F@H during the cooler parts of the day.
Backing down an oc will help.


You can do what I do and take the sides off the towers and point a fan on them. Even so, during summer I'll probably have to shut down several towers.

Yeah, even though my machines are pretty well cooled @ 43 and 44C, it gets a might warm in this little room with them going 24/7.

Looks like it's time for a Zalman for you.

I know that feeling. I have 8 towers running in this small room (8x10). All AMD's. It gets pretty steamy in here, and I go all all winter with the window partialy open and a fan pulling in cold air.
For me it's a small price to pay for a hobby I love.

...try what I do _phoenix_...get yourself a window fan.

Mine has been running for close to three years...
I even have hoses running through it going outside to put the radiators for my water cooling.

Yeah, that's what I have. A window fan.
I'm thinking I need a window AC though.

hmmm...that many in one room...

Some creative exhaust ducting may be in order - you could build a box around the back of the whole lot and duct it out that window...no more heat in that room.

I've noodled with this kind of stuff for a while...those that know me get a little chuckle out of it...

Only problem here is the heat in Texas is so strong, it will over power the effort to put it out the window...

Well the way they are set up, I have them on 2 walls and the window is on a 3rd. So that's not an option.

That's too bad...I broke down and put them all on a table in front of the double window - they blow right at the exhaust fan.

Of course most of the cpu heat is already outside with the radiators, but with summer heat coming I may have to come up with something to keep my overclocks...

Maybe set them over the air conditioning duct...
