Just got a 4400+ in a SilverStone Sugo-E.
Using the stock cooler i get idle temps of around 40 - mid 40's (degrees) and in game (WoW) im getting high 50's. Im really concerned with these temps because its an Athlon 64, if it were a Pentium I wouldnt be too worried but as I've seen people idling at mid 20's with similar set-ups!
I went for AS5 on the HSF and used the blob in the centre method with my HS speading it over the CPU. Is this the best method as i could always try to resit the HS?
Im thinking that the fan doesnt speed up under load, it is constantly at around 2900 rpm, is it meant to be like this?
Is there anything else i can do to get these temps at a reasonable level as i really dont want to have to leave them like this! Maybe getting a Zalman CNPS 7000?
