Watercooling to speed up winxp-dualcore?
hdd, gpu and cpu are between 39 and 50°C. i could imagine when all these can be lowered(CPU down to 35°C) my pc would run much quicker, let alone when updated to 8gb ram an win7-64.
Since its now running smoothly this could be overkill of an outdated system, right?
Maybe better save the money for a new pc. i5 e.g. can be get for 400 euro in D.

temps are now beween 43 and 54° C and the day will get hotter. But i have removed unnecessary stuff infront of the open pc. all parts sitting on a table-like setup. MOBO on small "legs". some inches from the base.
-
54C, I would not worry about it. Since it is open, set a house fan to blow over it. See if that helps.
-
Yes had the same idea and drilling hole into the thick plate below. do you remember my old p4-like amd is mounted on a frame(slim plate cut out) 50cm above it. under it a fan is mounted.

Replacing thermal grease. How often when PC is excessively used multiple hours every day?
i have cpu and two other chips to be serviced.
-
Thermal paste, multiple answers.
P4 , which run hot, about 2 years.
AMD 3 - 5 years
And the AMD where I got the paste thin enough, it has been running since 2002 with no paste change.
Arctic Silver 5 is what I used.
60C is where I get curious, 64C is panic time for me.
-
amd dualcore now at dangerous 58°C. pc was running all hottest day long but not used. spybot was searching.
maybe better shutting it off now before running malwarebytes. and get another big fan.
-
40C gets me up in that range too. Well, it did, as I have AC in this apartment.
-
had multiple ideas for AC. pseudo AC by using water. also ionisation(the cheap version.....i dont trust-maybe waste if money. but i have photographic equipment laying around.
have bought an Air-damper and gave it back since carpet was wet then......
We have a company here creating professional air-washing-machine, not cheap.
If i had AC and will go out it would hit me hard. but i must seriously think about it. not possible to work hard at home under these circumstances or sleeping at day.
-
CPU is now at terrible 63°C. must stop PC and think about replacing thermal-grease. Have a HQ-cooler.
an buying additional Fan
Big Fan now near MOBO. cooled down to 51°C wow! still going down.

AMD quite Ncool-tool
Have accidentally found ASROCKS AMD quit ncool-tool which is now installed. Seems to cool down. have 40/44° C GPU/CPU temperature. ok, its not so hot anymore and i have just started reusing pc.

It idles the cpu when there is no load, thus allows it to cool down.
