Hello there. I am yet again seeking expertice from the wonderfull users here at the forum.

My problem this time is not my own pc, but my wife's p4 3.0 ghz. She has become hooked on WoW, and it has started to put a strain on her computer. The most obvious is that her cpu temperature is way way to high. After a coupple of hours it reached a whopping 90 degress celsius! It only has stock fan, so I need to get a new one.

I am currently considering buying a Thermaltake Big Typhoon.
The only problem with that is that I am not sure if it will fit on her motherboard. Its a Abit IS7 E2. Does anyone know if it will fit ? And why the stock fan is cooling so badly? I have cleaned it out, but it still doesnt cool very well.

Thank you.
