[QUOTE]Originally posted by Klaus: [QB] Well two things you can do. Blow all the dust off the MB and the CPU cooler. It [i]could[/i] be the paste I would suppose but I have never heard about having to re-apply after a certain time period. The 2nd thing is to set the ASUS monitor to a higher temp.... I would not be too concerned about the heat unless you are having other symptoms like freezing applications or graphical artifacts onscreen. The XP processors of your speed run a bit hot as you know. Consider a Volcano type cooler. [IMG]http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/35-106-017-01.JPG[/IMG] It uses a large 70mm fan on it (the size of the case fans) and the speed is variable by using a small dial that comes with it. Mike and I really like the Volcano9. I turn my fan up to 5500RPM when I am in a game that will make my CPU hot and down to 1200RPM when I want to sleep in the same room... Very nice to be able to crank the sucker down and not have to hear it all the time. The other thing is to make sure your case has lots of airflow. And make sure it's equal (one fan in back one in front) I have 6 fans in my case and the Volcano9 on my CPU - I never have problems anymore and can run my CPU fan at 1200RPM most of the time, even in games. In my extra computer with a 1800XP in it and a cooper heatsink 5500RPM CPU fan I only have one case fan. It gets flaky in games because I don't have enough case fans (only 1). But I think it's the video card not the CPU. [/QB][/QUOTE]
