I started up Speedfan today while playing FFXIV and chatting on FB as it was sounding like it was really working hard, along with my other fans too and the ss below is what it came up with. :S
Are those temps ok? Seem a bit high to me.
Lol no definitely not running at -128. And not sure where I'd store LNH other than my empty beer can and I can't see that going well.
Would have thought 81 is very hot, will have to google the limits of it.
CPUID is showing more reasonable zero load temps. About 41 min. Will run FFXIV again in a minute and see what happens.
I got the same case, but If you want to lower the temps you could just add an intake fan on the side panel an exhaust fan on the top, both of those should be 140mm, this shouldn't cost more than £20
To be honest.... I actually wouldn't know how to do that lol I can take parts out and stick ones in when its all nice and simple, and you can't really go wrong with GPUs and RAM etc but adding stuff in that there isn't an existing slot for then connecting it up to the correct part of the mobo or PSU? :S Hmm. Knowing my luck it'll all go terribly wrong! lol
All you need is a screwdriver, there are existing holes for the fans, and connecting the power cables either to the 3 pin connectors on the motherboard or the by using the 3 to 4 pin adapters connecting these to the psu. It is really simple. You can just watch a video on youtube or something, and it is actually also easy to remove the top of the case so you could fix the fan there easily just type in on youtube or even google ''taking the top off the cm690 2 case'' and there you go.
Although if I was to do I probably would just look on youtube for advice rather than drag it cross-county XD lol Or pop down my local computer shop.
Think I may have to look into getting a couple of new fans for it. CPUID is reporting 81 degrees too under load. Although you say it can cope with that no problem, and I don't doubt it can, I'd rather have it as low as possible.
Well... yes... I know that >.< Thats why I asked what you would suggest for a filter and where I could find a decent one that won't impeed air flow too much but still keep dust out.
