I just built my first computer and i have an Intel Pentium 4 2.8 ghz 533 fbs. I have the stock heatsink/fan on it. I have a Cheiftech Dragon case. The 2 back fans which are right next to the processor i have blowing cool air over the processor. The CPU fan blows air on the chip so the cool air from the back is sucked into that fan which is in turn blown on the chip. I play Unreal Tournament a lot and noticed the temp of the processor is about 65 celiusish when playing. Will that temp damage my chip after a short time or long time. I also have a side case fan which blows air onto the motherboard. I have just bought 2 more fans for the front of the case which i'll use as exhaust so it removes the hot air.
At idle it runs about 45 celsius. Any advice on how to cool it down even more w/o buying a 400 dollar water cooling set. Any advice would be appreciated.
