Post subject:  too hot in my apt for oc

i was tinkering around on my computer yesterday with some overclocking. i got to 3.89 ghz 3d mark ran no problem. but then it would blue screen every so oftin. (after 5 hours of being up) so i put it down abit. 3.6 ghz witch i had stable for days on end no blue screen. ran for about 4 hours then blue screen. so i said the hell with it ill go back to stock.
4 hours later blue screen. now everything is set to stock on my pc. but i keep getting blue screens every now and again. any ideas. im leaning towards cmos battery but i wanted to check to see if anyone else had another idea. or is it just the heat. my apt is 80-90F on a daily basis

If you're at stock I doubt it's the CPU overheating (but your ambient temps are really high... :) ). First thing I'd try is to jury rig up a small fan over the memory to see if that solves the issue.

with the humidity and annoying heat temps, i agree stick a house fan blowing on it

i am in the same boat rone my apt is at a steady 84f and sometimes gets to 87 i have been playing with my fans, and have come to the conclusion with the high ambient temps, its best to have a postive air pressure through your case, (more air going in then going out) i have it switched to negative (more exhaust than intake) and notice a 4c -5c jump in all the temps across the board. Anyways, i hope you get your problem solved. have you tried running mem test or anything else to diagnose the problem?

im goin to get a a/c unit tonight for my apt. i cant take this anymore. rite now its 91 f. my reptile enclosure says its 109f. damn brick faced buildings.

i have one of them big ass fans in my window of my apt. all it does is crank in the heat from the concrete jungle

Check your CPU's temp with Coretemp or Realtemp...If all is in check, maybe run Memtest to make sure your RAM is fine...and try reseting the CMOS.

too hot in on some days in the summer to archive desired bench marks.

I hear ya! bad enough having supreme heta but then putting a space heater into the mix is killer!

Yeah, I'm guessing that it's related more to passively cooled motherboard components like VRMs or SB/NB than it is to mem or CPU.

Just a fact of life for us folks who don't use AC all summer long. :)

yeah its a reality i have accepted. LOL

alto them yate loon fans did help bring down ambient temp in the case. im getting 12 more of those fans for my new rig. BEST FANS I EVER USED. the 1350 rpm fans for a low rpm move A LOT of air

ps i never did get a ac unit

I once had 3 AC power fans in an old case way back when. They were LOUD (50db each). I also shorted to the case a few times and nothing blew up that was pretty funny.

hahaha that's pretty cool. i once ran a water cooling rad into a mini fridge. then back out to the processor. worked really well, but moving the computer was a task in its self. i had holes drilled in the top of the mini fridge. so taking out the raid involved draining the system.
