Hi. I have the Enlight 7238, one intake fan, 2 exhaust fans, a volcano 5 hsf, and a psu fan. I am running the ECS K7AMA MBoard, Athlon 1.4 ghz tbird, 2 hard drives, 256 mb micron ddr ram, cardexpert/gainward geforce 2 mx. Using MotherBoard Monitor, my CPU temp is 49 C Idle. How can I decrease this? When I take off the side of my case the temp usually goes down 10 degrees celcius. How do I get better circulation without modding the case? (I dont have tools, time, or money to do this). Also, I have one extra fan but no where to put it, where can i mount it and where can i get a 3pin to 4 pin adapter?
 
How high does it get? You're doing fine, you could take out some fans. Chances are they don't do much.
 
They Idle at around 49 CPU and 35 Case. I dont know what full load temps are because I dont know how to do that in MBM.
 
That's not bad at all, the Volcano5 isn't all that great of a heatsink. In fact, I think you could be doing worse with a heatsink like that. That's completely safe, 90c-95c is the max operating temparature. What speed CPU by the way?
