Computer Cooling
Is there something I can purchase to cool my computer better than the internal fans it came with? I noticed last wee when it was freezing cold out and I had all the windows open my computer fan rarely ever came on....not that the house is closed up and we are running the A/C (and not very cool, about 76) the fans are screaming at high speed and never shut off.
Is there a mini-cooling device available to rectify this?

you can buy bigger internal fans and more of them, you can get various types of cooling gels to put on the high heat devices, you can get bigger heat sinks to put on those devices, or if you got the money and time you can go full out liquid cooling

I have a Antec 900 case and upgraded all my fans to Panasonic Panaflos (that's the spelling...not panaflow) They will definitely cool the case more efficiently, but I warn you, when the are spinning it's gonna be loud.
My rig sounds like the deck of an aircraft carrier when I have all the fans running full tilt. It sounds like you might have the temp. settings wrong for your fans. They shouldn't be screaming all the time unless you have a monster video card under a gaming load creating all the heat. |

Is the antec 900 solid aluminum? I run cooler master all aluminum, dispurses the heat quite nicely... I have 2 proc fans, 1 cpu fan, 1 bay fan. I also use Real Temp manager... http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ Thought about liquid cooling, but I don't drive my proc into the ground with what I do... just slightly overclocked, and running great.
