Heat Problems, Need Help!

[dmw16]

I was reading over a post about the A7V motherboard(which I have), and it seems all my troubles will be solved if I can get the CPU temp down(and perhaps mobo temp too?). So I need some cooling suggestions. Right now this is the CPU fan I have. but that is my only fan. I have no sides on my case, but it is only a mid-tower. I need some suggestions on getting the temp down. A bigger case? A case fan(perhaps 2, and in and out?). I dont really think I want to user water, but if it comes to that I will. My CPU is a 900Mhz T-Bird, just incase that might help you in your suggestions.
thanks,

What is your mb/case temp at? I like to keep that under 30, or within 5C of ambient room temp personally.

The only other thing I can think of is that you have a pal6035 with an older clip, one not suitable for socket A use. That would hurt performance quite a bit. TO fix this, tighten the clip, and by a lot.
