Do I need extra fans?

[jibstar]

The thermometer of my case starts at 25C but then rises to 43-45C. Should I get extra fans or is this temperature OK?

That temperature is perfect. No need for extra noisy fans

i have 7 case fan's so you know what i would say,but the choice is your's

My other computer has 6 fans in it (A Cool Master Case) and it sounds like a jet engine, very annoying. This one that I'm on (Antec Desktop Case) has two fans in it and is reasonably quiet. As long as your computer is working great, I wouldn't install any more noisy fans. I find it especially annoying when doing video editing or listening to music with a noisy computer.
Although I do have a nice pair of noise reduction headphones for that computer.

How many fans do you have, jibstar?? And BH, what temps do you get??

[jibstar]

Actually I don't have any case fans, just the CPU fan and the fan from the power supply unit.

Wow. . cool . . .what are your PC specs ? Is it an older or a newer one ?

hey Jagg, cpu 36c idle case/system24c,and the noise doesnt bother me

temp. is fine but i would get at least a good ballbearing exhaust fan,you can get one with rpm control so it doesn't run full speed if you don't need it.it has been my experience that AMD computers usually need some extra cooling and they don't cost much.

'The thermometer of my case starts at 25C but then rises to 43-45C. Should I get extra fans or is this temperature OK?'

is this the temperature of inside your case or your CPU?

sounds a little high for inside the case. if it is case temp.. what is your CPU temp?. if that is the CPU temp thats fine no need for more fans.

if your case temp is going up when you use the computer, then you definatly need more air circulation in your case.
the case temp should be the same as your room temp and should stay there.
put a front fan blowing in and a rear fan blowing out of the case.
with the summer heat on the rise, it is more important to keep the air flow as good as you can get.

you do not need to use high speed noisey fans to have good air flow

[jibstar]

Thanks for the help, Yes 43C-45C is the temperature for the inside of the case. I'll connect up the case fan and see if the the temperature goes down. Thanks.

nice... I've got 2 case fans, and I get mine down to about 40 deg C running normally
But mine generates a little less heat than yours I'd say
