Does your case have an option for fan speed and or which way the fan pushes air ? Is your case out in the open or in a closed space ? 2 fans is also pretty low . What kind of case do you have ? Your PSU should have a fan , your processor should have a fan , most graphics cards have a fan , and the case should have at least 2 or three fans . Airflow is important on the outside as well as the inside <| sep |> Was going to say that but then I remembered that the trumplets stole our rck 2 memes 😥 <| sep |> We do it because it ' s goodAnd because it takes like 5 seconds . Granted I don ' t mind doing something more timeconsuming , just as long as it doesn ' t become a habit of having like 20 minute dailies all the time . <| sep |> A clipped waveform is DC while it is clipped . It is sustaining the rail voltage of the power supply and the more clipped it is , the longer it sustains that voltage . Though in the much longer view you are right , across a span of time it is AC . But during clipping it is rail voltage DC . The disparity of our opinions , is based on the amount of time under consideration . Short term DC , Long Term AC , Longer term potentially back to DC again . Also , excess clipping can cause asymmetry . Generally the net voltage and net power are zero , the voltage swing 20 v then 20 v and the net is zero . But with extreme clipping , this extreme clipping can cause asymmetry , which in turn will cause a DC offset on the output , and no amp likes that . In fact , most better amps will immediately shut down when they detect DC in the output . And Yes DC can be harmful to speakers , a voltage is a voltage is a voltage . For the bass driver which has not capacitors to protect it , that DC voltage is a direct high current connect to the DC resistance of the voice coils . For an 8 ohms speaker , the DC resistance is about 6 ohms . For a 4 ohms speaker it is down around 3 ohms . Further , with this extreme distortion caused by excess volume , you can extend the speakers to the point where they exit the voice coil gap and mechanically damage themselves . Then if you sustain the ridiculous volumes long enough , you well melt the voice coils . Though more likely you will be so loud you will distort the shape of the voice coils , that will cause them to scrape , and that will cause them to short , and that will cause them to melt . Keep in mind that with a 100 wch amp , the rail voltages are about 45 volts . True using a 1 . 5 v DC battery to check a speaker is not a problem , but with extreme clipping you are sustaining 45 v for a considerable accumulated time . It only take 8 watts average to reach 100 db average , and about 110 db to 115 db is the mechanical limit for most speakers . If you are in a normal room with normal equipment , and your average output is 100 db , you deserve everything you get . No sympathy from me .
