i have a big antec case as it is (1200) - but I have problems with my gfx card over heating - wondering if a new case is the answer, or a new card, or a new fan/heatsink on the card...

Well this one never has problems with overheating.

It does get very dusty and I blow it out once a fortnight with a can of air :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

how hot? which card? its own thread? lol

Re: Show us your workstations
 

hot enough for artifacts to appear on the screen, and to crash soon after. (100 degrees at one point)

it's a Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 Rampage GLH 2GB GDDR5

I can start another thread on it, i guess...

the antec 1200 has 3 dust filters, which i have to clean every month or so (I have no idea why there is so much dust, the house is very clean) - and requires me to undo around 30 thumb screws to get them out...

does it overheat only in games or when not under load? change the cooling or at least reseat what you have with new compound and used CCC to turn the fan up

New case and a few upgrades...

About as much as I can get away with the mrs for now.... ;)

(Note ghetto table mod to get the case to fit under it, trusty Leatherman to the rescue!)

Horray for modular PSU's :)

Shame about the MOBO though :P lol j/k

I got a 1200 also :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Whats that attached with the white cable?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Looks like a usb and firewire extension port for the rear.

Looks like my tower unit although I have the antec dark fleet df-85 £130 from Ebuyer.

I dont have my power supply fan facing down though there wouldn't be enough space between the tower base and the floor, so I have it facing up blowing into the tower. I have 7 fans in the case, x2 140mm fans at the top and x2 120mm fans at the back blowing heat out of the case and x3 120mm fans blowing cold air into the case so the added heat from the power supply blowing onto the board doesn't matter as its taken back out again.

Idle with stock cooler for AMD 965 quadcore is around 30c not sure what the heat is peak

Just got 2 fans one in one out in my case keeps it cool enough and its nicely overclocked
