Do I have enough cooling?

[genova]

I will have a rear case fan, a front case fan, and Heatsink w/ fan for the cpu. I will have a Tbird, IBM 45gb ATA/100 HD, GTS2,SB Live! in the case. Will my cpu remain cool and stable?

It doesnt really matter how many fans or heatsinks you threw in there, the most important thing is air circulation.

Make sure you have the same amount of air flowing out of your case as in. Fans can cool but only so much. Fans themselves also put out heat so adding more might do more harm then good if they are not setup for proper circulation of air inside the case.

I'm using a Tornado 1000 case from 3DCool.com . Excellent case, excellent cooling, excellent airflow.

I have two FC-2000 exhaust blowers in my case that fit in empty PCI slots, but use the power from the p/s and not the actual slot...they seem to work nice
