PC Overheating

[maxxxsteel]

This is my setup4 2.2, 1 Gig Rambus, Intel MB, 80 and 20 GB HDD and Radeon 97000 Pro. All of the sudden my computer is getting up near 107 to 108 when I play AOE or Command and Conquor. It starts freezing upa nd getting all goofy. I updated drivers to latest drivers for the radeon and that did nothing. I have a front fan blowing in, a fan on the side blowing out, one in the back blowing out , one on the hard drives in and an exhaust fan right by the vid card. WTF!!! When I checked inside the case the last time it did this, which is everytime I play a game now, it seemed that the vid card was hot and the processor wasnt hot at all. is the intel active monitor on crack? Any ideas appreciated!1

108 degrees F. Is that the board temp? What is the CPU temp? What is the room temp where you are? Even with lots of fans, if the ambient temp is high the comp will run hot. You'd be better off with a fan that blows onto the vid card rather than an exhaust fan, that would keep it cooler. Are all the cables inside neat and tidy? Nothing cloged with dust? Rounded cables can help with the airflow...

How about dry ice in the side pods? Sorry.

Does the VGA Card get hot or is it thea chip on it fan?

If it is producing big heat then it could be faulty and on its way out swap it out and see if this makes the difference. If its the mobo try a different slot. + what rockerfellerz said

In the mean time run with the sides off to let heat escape when gaming.
