I was getting ~57-60C idle on my Athlon MP 2800+ (using stock HSF and Thermal pad).
the System temp was ~39C.
oh.. and I have a generic psu.
So i decided to get some Arctic silver 3, and my cpu temp is now ~50-54C idle, (system temp is about the same as before).
Now, even though it's running a little cooler, it's nowhere near the 42-44C idle temps that are reported around this forum. So i was wondering what HSF's and powersupplies people are using.
I might get an Antec true 480 to see if things get cooler, (since the psu that came with my case seems to emit a lot of heat).
