My Cooling

[Ned_Flanders]

Here it is:

Cooling an Athlon XP 2500 @ 200Mhz FSB (3200+) - 1.7VCore
and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro @ 452 Core / 365 Mem

Load / Idle temps look both stable at 40c.

Not a buble in sight - a vast improvement from the last setup!!!

Opinions / Advise.

PS - I will be buying another Radiator to get those temps down to 30c ish hopefully.

OK it's your choice:
You can have the boat, or you can have the Mystery Box!
...Hey wait a minute! A boat's a boat, but a Mystery Box could be anything. It could even be a boat

It's my crappy generic PC3200 RAM which refuses to even do 404Mhz(DDR)!!!

How many fans do you have running in your system now? This sounds crazy, but if your radiator fan is pushing the air inside the case to the outside, you can drop the temps another 5-6C or more by reversing the fan so that it pulls cooler air from the outside into the case. You will probably be ok with your PSU doing the exahusting. Even if it raises the case temps slightly it will still benefit your CPU more. Flow rate can make a big difference also.

I have 2 fans - 1 in the PSU.

There are already setup correctly.

See if I try to help you anymore

Actually, I didnt know that reversing the rear fan was a common trick. I thought I had come up with something new
