I'm having a problem with my AMD consistently running hot if I render much in Bryce. I rebuilt my tower to stand the North Carolina heat but so far it's not working. I have 5 case fans in it with all rounded cabling and a duct with all my other wires going through it...still runs hot. The case itself is aluminum with a windowed side. I have a thermometer inside and it's consistently running in the mid 90s to 100 degrees farenheit when I'm doing Bryce work...the processor itself runs in the 140s F (which is 60s Celcius IIRC.) I think it's my CPU fan that really blows (no pun intended), and haven't had the time or money (definitely not the money) to stick into it right now. Plus when I DO get cash, it's going for more RAM. Anyhow, when I do much rendering in Bryce, I gotta put my 20 inch box fan beside the doorway and turn it on high. How sad. MD PS...I love my AMD...but geez...what kind of CPU fan does it take to keep this damn thing cool?!?
