NesuD: our systems are almost exactly alike.. lol..

for me:
2x 7200rpm ata66's
6x toshiba dvd-rom
veloCD 12x (plexwriter incognito)
gladiac geforce2 gts

Bravoexo: dude, sounds like your computer wants to move 😀 30C room temp.. ouch. sorry. I guess you like it hot 🙂 haha. my comp is loving the cooler weather right now. sounds like you'd run cooler than mine if you had my ambient temp.

I agree with Spooon. If you look at what is necessary then you will see that my PIII 600E will do about anything I need it to and there is no need to OC it. But I do it anyway and I have fun doing it. It's the same way with cooling, except it has the added plus of testing your creativity. When you look at cooling and case mods from a practical standpoint, most are pointless and have no real performance increase of their own. Cooling however has the advantage that it has been proven that the cooler you can get your processor the more you are going to be able to overclock. With my new alpha I have been able to get 876 out of my processor where I could only get 852 with my golden orb. So obviously case and processor cooling does have an affect.

It's so hot down here, I have two electric fans just on my workplace, one is on the back moving away all the hot air from the PC and one on the side, just for me...ha ha ha...HOT! Well, anyway, that's why I hardly PC at noon. At night though, ambient hits 26 C to 27, system nose dives to 35 C, while CPU temp dive bombs to 42 C (46 C on load) as well...

Oh, well. Maybe I need another fan in there...ha ha ha...
