John.H. CPU cooling is not just down to a matter of type of heatsink and fan....there are many other factors that need to be considered. Case size and clutter, ambient room temp, the positioning and operation of case cooling fans, ducting, to name but a few. A google search will throw up a wealth of guidance in this respect. regards, Steve "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none" remove NILSPAM for reply |

Thanks Shep.
I was wondering if it was running within the specs.

Thanks again Shep.
The temps I told you are 55c to 58c no load.Maybe my case temps are why it runs that warm.My case temps are 34c to 36c do you think I might need better case fans.I have 2 one in front and 1 in back.The air coming out of the back fan feels cool.But the air coming out of the p.s. feels quite warm.Could the p.s. cause the case to be that warm.Also the case fans are running at 2600 to 2700 rpm.My room temp is 78 or 80 degress. the case is a good size case it is a mid tower enlight with a 360 watt p.s.

My case temp is 36C and p4 2.4 is at 41C while downloading and surfing..
Dumped Intel's HS and fan for a Zalman aluminum and copper "flower" heat sink and fan about a year ago. It also cools my video card and other components on the MB. Runs a lot quieter than intel's setup. "John H" wrote in message ... Thanks again Shep.

Thank again. John. I don't think you should worry too much however I don't like or recommend too many case fans as there's a point of diminishing returns because of vortices. Tidy up your cables and try with just the 1 back case fan :P Shepİ wrote: On Thu, 26 Aug 2004 00:58:55 GMT To confuse Arrogance with Confidence is as stupid as to confuse Ambition with Ability and then John wrote : Thanks Shep.
