Hey guys I need your suggestions on my PC, check sig below. My case is a coolermaster C5 intake 80mm exhaust 120mm all round cables good flow through case. my idle temps are high: 47-59c under load they reach 74-78c playing games like HL2, doom3 and etc... I checked my cpu fan to make sure it was still working and its fine. i need to clean the heatsink since it has dust stuck to it. I know the P4 3.E stock temp is 69c. I'm not worried about frying the cpu yet, but i want to know how can i get it back down below 55-60c under load and at least 45c-or lower at idle? I don't want to water cool this rig, so which heatsink/fan is the best to use on the setup? and should i get some ram sinks too? I plan to upgrade to the BFG 7800GS AGP very soon so i know that card will heat up good. Any coments or suggestions are welcome.
ps. mobo temps stay around 25-28c at all times no matter what the load or how long the system is running.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
