Heat Issue ?

Q · 02-10-2007, 02:43 AM

I soon (next week) will have the following setup running. I dont plan to Overclock. Will I have any heat issues? My case is an Antec P180B which is good for air movement, etc.. I'm just looking for re-assureance I guess.

My build:

ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor

CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 620W Power Supply

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording
Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive -

EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card -

CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)

NEC 18X DVDÂ±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black E-IDE / ATAPI Model 7170A-0B - OEM

Thanks!

I plan on buying the Antec P150 SOLO mid tower case for my next upgrade. Simple, elegant and comes without a power supply (the Antec P 150 430w isn't enough).
You bought the tall tower of the same type.

Look into the Zalman line of cpu coolers. Add case fans where Antec made room for them.

It will be fine. Conroe is a very efficient architecture and I think they only give out a paltry 65w.

8800s do run hot but the P180 is a big case with good airflow so it shouldn't cause any problems.

......That HAS to be the first time Ive heard of someone considering a heat issue -before- the PC has been assembled.

I am pretty excited about it since it's my first time building one, but I didn't want to waste money buying a better CPU cooler or HS fans if I didn't need to.

thanks

Usually the reason people uprate the cooling in their cases if for overclocking. Considering you're not then stock cooling will be fine. Even on your stock cooling you still should be able to make a reasonably good overclock.
