I have the Thermaltake Blue Orb II, My cpu is still running about about 50*C or so when I am just running desktop programs such as Firefox, Excel and Outlook. Any suggestions. Did I put the Arctic silver on wrong?

I have a Rosewill ATI 800xl PCI-E video card. It loves to run hot. 52* on idle. Usually reaches near 70-80*C while running Tiger Woods. Any suggestions?

Which of the follow is best?

Memory Timings (DDR)
@ 200 MHz 3.0-3-3-8 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 11-14-2 (RC-RFC-RRD)
@ 166 MHz 2.5-3-3-7 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 10-12-2 (RC-RFC-RRD)
@ 133 MHz 2.0-2-2-6 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 8-10-2 (RC-RFC-RRD)

50*C is not excessive for a CPU. I would say it is in the normal range.

Please list the specs of your computer so we can answer your questions about memory.

Intel 640 3.2GHz

ATI 800XL PCI-E
SATA Raid Card
Themaltake Golden ORB II,

My real concern is why is the CPU still so hot? I put the new Heatsink on and haven't really noticed it cooling down but 2-3* compared with the Intel Stock cooler.

You should run the memory @ 200 MHZ.
