My room has poor air control, it gets about 80F in my room before i turn my pc on. After i turn on my pc it slowly gets warmer. It gets to the pont that my cpu gets about 60C before i shut it down.. So.. i inderclocked it to 2100 mhz. a 700 mhz difference (2800 standard clock [never overclocked]) and its running at a cool 37C about 98F and holding (all of this is under a 50% processor load).

Any one have abd tips on cooling this heat monster P4? how well does liquid cooling work?

On a side note i have 1 intake fan and 1 output fan. The case has room for 1 more intake and 1 more outake. The cpu fan runs about 2000 rpm's.

Thanks in advance

As long as your system is stable, you should be fine. Try some artic silver ceramique thermal paste. It may lower your cpu temp a few degrees. I would stick to the Intel heatsink, and not use liquid cooling, unless your doing extreme overclocking.
