I juz got my new comp in Sept and I bought a AVF casing.. I installed a 12cm Vizo UVLED fan as intake, a 8cm fan at the side panel as intake and two 8cm fan as exhaust at the rear..

My idle temp seems to be high:

+12 V 12.89 V
+5 V Standby 5.07 V
VBAT Battery 1.36 V

therefore, i planned to buy a new casing my budget is around 200bucks.. but before that, does casing affects airflow?

casing design does effect airflow, the material used to construct the case is always a factor albeit not a huge one....try to do some cable management if you havent done so, tidying up all those clusters of cable will allow air moves smoothly within the case...

but i dont think your temps are too high...aircon room? what is ur ambient temp?

aircon room with 27Celcius.. I would like all the parts under 40 except AUX below 45 and GPU below 50

i don't think your temp was alarming.
it's normal i think. just do some cable management like what seanl told
and
The most important thing, don't trust the onboard temp sensor 100%.
try to do some monitoring with stand-alone temp sensor, if u have them.

it's best if u can list out your system hardware so that we can help out.

Processor: Dual Core E2140 1.6GHz@2.0GHz
RAM: 1*1GB Kingmax DDR2-667
Motherboard: ASROCK Conroe D667-1333 R1.0
Harddisk: 160GB Maxtor SATA2 7200rpm
Graphic Card: Colorful 8600GT

alright.. i will try to do cable management..

For ur cpu temp, 1 thing can do is change aftermarker HSF, aside from a proper cable management.

Btw, the temp is taken during idle or full load?

it's not casing that effects the temp.. it's the ventilation of your casing. hardwares such as GC n proc produce a lot of heat and some are hotter than others.. make sure to get something with proper ventilation..get a lot of fans.

alright.. i will do cable management later.. and you meant heatsink fan for northbridge?

a lot of fan.. hmm.. so i want to ask another question? should air flow of the rear fan more than the intake or vice versa or equal air flow?

suppose the intake and exhaust got equal cfm rate, so there is no negative or positif pressure inside the case. remanage ur cable will help a lot in improving the airflow inside ur case...

hmm... juz read through the forum and i found that ianho said that negative pressure in the case is good because it will drag more air from the atmosphere into the casing.. like physics, air flows from high pressure region to lower pressure region.. do correct me if i am wrong.. I did some cable management.. (I am a noob) but the result is quite impressing..

thanks you guys for your advices.. i think i will get a HDD cooler to lower my HDD to below 30 and a NB chipset cooler with fan..

Nope, i mean the HSF for ur proc
If u can tolerate noise from ur fan, u can try get a higher CFM fan to push more air

oh.. i will get it later..

SRI comp got stock. beware of the con mans there though..good luck hunting..

Added on October 29, 2007, 6:26 pmi'd recommand the Vantec HDD cooler..RM149 @ ALL IT..but you will have to on it verytime you boot ur pc..will have to find a way to hack that..lol..

i think your temperature is ok

i think i will get the evercool rocket system cooler at RM60

it's ok.. but i want it to be cooler..

Added on October 30, 2007, 4:45 amI am interested to mod my casing now.. it's cheap so i am daring enough mod it.. hmm.. actually can the fan blowhole be square instead of circle? lol.. noob question..

It does effect the air flow..if u casing got many cable or dust..even many fans oso cant make a nicer air flow..bro

There is nothing wrong with your temperature, it's normal and fine.
You are a bit picky about it only.
Cheer up... don't freak out and let those temperature issue out of you mind, okay...

i know's it's ok.. i juz want it to be cooler..

the, go for cascade or single phase cooling.ur temp will drop far below 0'c..
or maybe watercooling??

your temperature is ok if you ask me.
