My Pentium D 3.2ghz cpu is at 55C at idle
When I play WoW it heats up to 85C sometimes even more
The cpu cooling fan I have was pretty cheap, I don't remember the brand
If I keep the case closed the temp will get up to 100C
So right now I have a large house fan blowing into the side of the open case just to keep it at 85C, lol

I am thinking of buying an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro to just tide me over for a couple months until I have a new
system built or build one myself.

Any thoughts on the Arctic Cooler or advice would be greatly appreciatted
