I'm having a problem keeping my system cool enough to play any PC game for over 20 mintues give or take or also when I am decoding and re-encoding DVDs. The reason I know this is because I have Intel Active Monitor installed and I get a loud beeping and error message that my processor zone is getting to hot and out of the "safe" zone. My current temps are: Processor 115; Zone 1 100; Zone 2 108 all Fahrenheit, and my Fans are running about 3465; 1448; and 2107. Here is my system specs: P4 3 Gig (with intel heatsink), 512 memory in dual channel, ATI Radeon 9800, Intel motherboard, 2 120mm fans on in the front, one in the back, an Antec 350 w p/s, and an Antec case. I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions to getting my system cooler, espically so I can play Doom 3 with no probelms. Would replacing the intel heatsink help? I'm open to suggestions.
