thanks, i will try what you said and report back. first i will leave it in the bios for a whille then check the temp. then i will put the side back on then do the same thing.
-
Ok, forget to say somethings: when i boot into xp the temp is 46 and it rises up to 58 in about 10 min. i have arctic siver 5 on the cpu, so the thermal compound is good. the temp in the room that the pc is in is about 23C.
-
Yeah, decided to ask the pros... After about 10mins of running a few light apps my temp is 57-58 degrees celcius. My specs are: AMD XP 2700+ (using stock AMD heatsink/fan) ASRock K7S41GX 120gb 7200 Segate Hard drive 80gb 7200 WD Hard drive 2 80mm case fans (also the side of my case is always open) Any ideas on what I should do, Also note that I am very cheap so I can't spend a lot on a new heatsink/fan combo but if theres something out there that can help me and the price is good I wont ming buying it. Thanks a lot guys.

Sorry guys but i got another question. This is for my brothers computer. He has integrated video and this is all i know about it: Video Memory = 64MB Share Memory Rending Ability = 2D Hardware Acceleration 3D Rendering Integrated AGP 4X So it doesnt have any AGP slots or anything. I have a PCI Radeon 7000 lying around and i could pop that in but would it be better than whats built in? Once again thanks a ton guys.

Ok, I get that but then whats the diffrence between a Athlon and a Duron, Are they the same or is one like a celeron.
-
Hi guys i just got a quick question. I got 2 cpus and i dont know which one better. One is a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and the other one is a AMD Duron 2200 Pro. Im guessing the Duron is faster but the way AMD names these things is weird. Thanks for all your help guys.
