No OC , basic setup . Not doing anything but playing a few games & basic internet stuff .

Intel 865PERL
Intel 2.66/533 (stock HSF)
Case Antec 835II

The two Antec fans that came with the case I put in the rear for exaust & I purchased two Med. speed Sunons in the front for air intake .
Never messed with any of the INTEL settings in the monitor & left them where they were .

Tonight I had the Intel Monitor alarm go off in System Zone 2 (Factory set at 50C) while I had Diablo2 running in the background while on the internet . Not really sure what that Zone2 is but I know that "Processor Zone" is for the CPU & "System Zone 1" is for case temp .
Temps right now in Monitor are : CPU/40-41c , Zone1 /36c , Zone2 /40c (no diablo2)

I reside in FL & the temps are a bit on the high side but I'm not so sure . Should upgrade the HSF or just put a "4" High speed case fans in the case ?


Thanks ...........
