Hi there. Sky's up and it's way too hot

It's really hot here in Europe. Even though it's night right now, you can feel how hot it is.

What reason do they give for pulling out?



for reasons which are beyond our control



Reading on comments on Facebook and other sites, this is not the first time they have cancelled tours, Alot of comments saying why to festivals continue to book them when they always cancel. So looks like they've done this many times. Damn shame, they are very good on CD.

Yeah, I just went downstairs, it was 24.5C and it felt cool

Haha, it's currently around 28C in my room, but that's mainly because my computer is a real heat machine.
 
Evil Eye said:
Yeah, know the problem. Can't play any games at the moment without overheating and freezing my system.



Oh, I know how's this. What games do you usually play?
 
Civilization 4, Morrowind, Skyrim, Minecraft, League of Legends. Can't play like this though, gonna have to get a fan or something

Get a water cooling system if you want your CPU being cold, also make sure that your cooling components aren't full of dust which may, okay, which most likely will bring up the heat. I myself am more into MMORPGs, but I have no game to play right now as I pretty much played everything.
 
I did dust it recently, but it's the GPU overheating (hence why I can just be online). Water cooling would be neat, but I doubt I could afford it.

It shouldn't cost you a lot TBH. You can get a decent water cooling system for around 60€~80€(my currency). Water cooling indeed is better than any regular fan so I strongly advice you to get one. According to the games you play, I don't see a reason why it should over heat.



My GPU is an ATI Radeon HD5850, and it's never too warm.
 
It normally doesn't, but when it's 30 degrees inside and even hotter in the case itself...

Not to mention the case is about four years old, doubt it was designed for this.

Mine's around 3 years now, and it still good. I only have one fan, and that's on the CPU. When I played Battlefield 3 in those hot days, the temperature went over 81C, it was crazy hot. I then saw that dust was literally blocking everything.
 
My motherboard tells me it's 45 degrees in the case, 50-60 for the CPU.

I should try keeping an eye on it while playing a game, see what happens. Can't really be bothered right now, though
