Nope afraid not, the PSU has it's own fan grill down there, but no space for case fans.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Hi, I have the CM Enforcer case (the one without the option for side fans) and I've recently updated my graphics card to a Gigabyte GTX 770 (the OC version) and, as I was kind of expecting, it's getting a bit warm in there at high load so I'm going to whack an extra fan or two in there, but I don't know what configuration would be best. I'm a bit inexperienced when it comes to fan setups (I've never run such a warm system so I never felt the need to add more fans).

The case already has 1x 200mm fan bringing air in from the front and 1x 120mm fan taking it out at the back, and it has the option to fit fans on the top, rear half of the case, either 1x 200mm fan or 2x 120mm fans. Would it be best to fit 1x 200mm fan, which I presume would be best drawing air out through the top, or 2x 120 mm fans? If the 120mm fans is best should they both be drawing air out through the top, or should one be drawing air out and the other drawing air in?

I'm leaning towards the 200mm fan just for the sake of simplicity, but I thought it best to check.

@killatwill15: There is no option in the bios to bring up the cap as far as I can find. I am also not interested in overclocking it, I want it to get up to it's advertised clock speeds like it was before.

@evildead6789: It was already set to XMP before I reset to default (after researching what to do with that kind of ram). What does that have to do with the cpu speed?

As has already be discussed earlier in the thread I've already reset the bios settings to factory default, no difference, and I've also checked the windows power management. I don't think my motherboard came with any over clocking software.

I transferred the whole rig to a new case a couple of weeks ago and took the opportunity to remove all the dust I could find, but I'll give it another look once I find the time just incase I missed some. I has just occured to me that it's still using the thermal compound that was pre-applied to the heat sink, perhaps that's worn out? I don't know how long Intel's pre-applied stuff tends to last.

Why can't technology ever just work? :(

Pretty sure it's max is 2.6, I've been running games in windowed mode as well so I can monitor CPU-Z just to be sure. Just run the test you suggested and still the same, I've also restored bios settings to default, but the CPU still refuses to go past 2.6.

As for heat, I don't recall what the system used to put out, but the system doesn't seem any warmer than it used to and there is a good air flow into and out of the case, as well as in the case itself, so I doubt it's temperature.

Hi, I have an Intel i5-3350P CPU with an advertised clock speed of 3.1GHz. When I checked it with CPUz not long after installing it a while back when pushed it reached it's advertised 3.1GHz and often went well above that (I assume that was the fancy overclocking tech Intel put in their CPUs these days), however I checked it again last night, and am looking at it this very moment, and the clock speed refuses to go above 2.6GHz.

I am running it in high power mode, checked that windows power settings aren't limiting it's max output below 100%, and have even chucked every power hungry game I can at it just to be sure, and it refuses to go above 2.6GHz. It doesn't appear to be a heat issue since the system temperature doesn't seem any higher than usual, but most curious of all when I entered the bios to see if anything was wrong there it said "Intel etc ... 3.10 GHz" but the clock speed is registered as 2600 MHz.

I'm afraid my knowledge of all things PC hardware don't go any further than building one, so I have no idea what is going on (things like multipliers and volts and all that technical stuff are totally beyond me). It may also be worth noting that in past drunken shenanigans there's a good chance I've gone into the bios for the fun of it and accidentally adjusted a setting I don't understand. If you need any further details let me know and I'll drag them up.

Thanks.

If it's actually utilised then yes. I've always enjoyed a good bit of local multiplayer.

I'm about to commit pokemon heresy, but Mew. The only thing about it that's cool is the rarity.
