Morning All, i am new to these forums so apologise if i talk rubish.
Basically i am having major troubles with my p.c overheating.#the spec is as follows
Asus P5P800 Socket-775 I865PE ATA - Sound Gb-Lan USB2 800FSB SATA
Intel Pentium 4 660 3.6Ghz Socket 775 800Mhz 2mb Retail Boxed
4X Corsair (VS1GB400C3) 1024MB, DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC, 184 DIMM, unbuffered, CL3, 64Mx8 DRAMs,
Seagate ST3300831AS Barracuda 300GB 7200RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache
Asetek VapoChill Micro - Ultra Low Noise (Intel LGA775) Includes asetek fan regulator; Ultra Low Noise 92mm fan; Front mounted push-pin CPU clip for Intel LGA775
5 x standard 90mm fans
It runs fine if only checking emails or on the net etc but start anything more demanding, such as solidworks or gameplay and it overheats within seconds and shuts down, i have taken the sides off and have a fan on the floor pointing straight in and still it does the same.
I have looked into buying a water cooled system but am reluctant to do so if this isnt going to solve the problem,
I have had the pc a little under a year and it has always been a little temperamental but its only the last month it has started doing this, which makes me wonder if its because of the excesive temperatures we are having lately but theoritically that shouldnt make any difference.
Can anyone give me any information or tips on where i am going wrong here.
Cheers
Gewboy
