some opinions please ( new rig built)
 

FINALLY i got my rig up and running , asus m2n sli deluxe - with amd athlon 5600 x2 2.8ghz - Msi nx8600 gts vid card and a 500 gig seagate and gskill 2 gig ram and the ultra 750 w Xconnect psu with a 120mm on top . i currently have for cooling is 2 120mm fans One intake (in the front of case ) and the other as an exhaust , and a 80mm side fan , Plus the vga stock fan , and for cpu cooling i have the Arctic freezer 64 pro .
the setup isnt bad , i dont overclock anything , supposibly the Motherboard has the Cool n quiet and the auto overclocking settings , so i let that be , it ranges from 1000 to 2800 (mhz) <--- or whatever its rated by .

i dont really play any BIG games , unless WOrld of warcraft is considered that ,
BUT my main concern is when i play for LONG periods of time i notice the temps getting pretty hot according to my PC probe it says 47o Celcius But i cant access DURing the game so when i exit the game and catch the temps , i assume it may of been more . also the Temp blowing out the rear IS REalllllly warm ,

would a simple water cooling setup clear that up like a 120mm radiator and a good waterblock help ??
ive also been looking at the Vigor Monsoon 2 Thermal electric cooling but dont really have any input on it .................... any help/advice is appriciated

Run Orthos and check your temps with CoreTemp

Temps can (and do) drop by 10'C/sec.

Watercooling, where to start:
A good guide, Beginner's Guide to Watercooling, Part I
And here's a lot of info too.

And, of course, anything you could possibly want to know about watercooling is available right here on Procooling.

thanks for the reply man , just one question what is the purpose of running ortho? is it a diag program

Re: some opinions please ( new rig built)
 

Orthos is a program designed to fully load your CPU. This will make it just as hot as a game would and allows you to check your temps at the same time. Anything below 60C is safe and anything below 50C is fine ;) If you don't need any more speed then your fine with the cooling you have. If you want your computer to last forever or want to overclock it then I guess you'd want to consider some better cooling. A new air heatsink will be about as good as a WC system with a 120mm radiator so thats something for you to think about. If you do decide to water cool then I'd recommend something like a 2x 120MM radiator or heater core (two 120 mm fans or 5 in x 10 in) and if you want a good block then probably something from swiftech or d-tek.

Well, ...Uhhh, ...Duh, ...WTF. ....yeah, anything there is probably all BS...

Re: some opinions please ( new rig built)
 

Run Speedfan while gaming, and you can use its chart function to see the peak temps.

thanks alot guys , ill run orthos and see what i come up with , thanks for the feedback

Re: some opinions please ( new rig built)

Re: some opinions please ( new rig built)
 

sorry for having like 100 temps logged , i honestly dont know what the rest of them are .......... by the looks of it , the yellow one and the grey/blackish one both hit 50 , ( i played wow for like 30 min or so thats why its short )

Re: some opinions please ( new rig built)
 

Those temps aren't dangerous, you should be fine with the cooling you have unless you want to overclock.
