I got a temp related question, I recently got a new pc:

AMD athlon xp 1800+
gigabyte 7vtxh+
256 mb of ddr ram
gforce 2 64 mb
Antec 350w psu

those are the main things I guess, anyway, what I wanted to say, is that my machine runs at about 50 degrees in avg. (celcious that is..) use, and in full load it even gets to 57-58 degrees, the reason might be
that I'm using the damned retail hsf, its fairly poor looking. But so far the machine has been pretty stable, I'm thinking of getting the volcano 7, do you think it will help droping the temp?
btw, my system is otherwise well cooled (I reckon), I have 2 fans on my psu, 2 case fans (one intake other exhust), 1 small fan on the video card, and the cpu fan, and I DON'T OC...
what do you say?
 
What is your ambient system temp? Anyway, those temps are about right.

A Volcano 7 would help, but I'd go for something a little more. Unfortunatly I'm so out of the loop on heatsinks right now that I don't have a good suggestion.
 
I wouldn't bother getting a different heatsink unless you want to overclock. Your current temps are acceptable. Just don't oc and you'll be fine.
