Haha, i'm back again. Well I got mine running at 45C idle, and i haven't seen it go above 55C. However my roomate's idles at about 50 and is at 60-62 when it's running how. However we moved it out of the corner it the temps dropped about 3-4 C so it's running at 58-59 C. I know these temps are...

The room temp is at about 60F, 4 case fans, front blowing in, side blowing out, and both rears are blowing out. We were thinking of messing round with the fans to see if we could get more cool air in, but is switching the side fan a good idea? Also the PC is in a corner, which doesn't help...

The case temp is still too high, it was running at 40C in the case, so it seems to me that it needs to get some more fresh air... it seems to be constant case temp + 20 = CPU temp..

Ok, what is a good temp when running under a high load? What I mean is, it's running at 46 or so idle, but what is a good high end temp? Is about 60 ok Or is that still too hot?

OMG that was it. it went from 56 to about 38... /sigh The only problem is that my power supply is too big, which is why i had the heatsink in the wrong direction in the first place... i'm gonna try my room mates PC now.. edit* yup. his is at 46 now... thanks for the help i feel like such a...

the thing is, the hestsink doesn't even seem hot when i touch it. i must have them install wrong..

I'm pretty sure I got the heatsinks installed correctly. What are some good temps that the cpu should be running at?

We reseated his heatsink and We got his temps down to 66-68 idle.. we're both using the x-dreamer coolmaster heatsink and fans. any other suggestions? still seems high

Ok guys, i've got a asus a7n8x- deluxe and i've got a cooling problem, actually 2 of them, my room mate has the same setup as I do. Ok we both have a X-dream cpu+heatsink+artic silver and at least 2 case fans, and with the side off my room mate gets a idle temp of 79-80C and I get a temp of...

Not sure. Can you find a 9500? I couldn't find any, but of course i didn't look very hard =D

Very cool. Thanks alot guys =) It's was very helpful.

Thanks alot! This was what I was looking for. I'm still not sure if I should oc it. Usually I stay away from doing it because I'm not sure if it's worth it. Do you know how faster it is in a game such as ut2k3 when it's oc'ed?

I thought so :)

I didn't notice the PV until after i bought it. There's a EPV that goes for like $20 more PV Clock Speed 400MHz Memory speed 850MHz EPV Clock Speed 405MHz Memory speed 810MHz I have no idea what type of memory it has in it. And I have no idea how much of a difference it makes, i just know...

I can't find any 9800np for $220 anywhere. Besides the most i wanted to spend is $170, and i'm already $30 over it.. What is the best video card for $200?
