I've been trying various things to get the temp of my CPU down. I'm using Arctic Silver II (which really doesn't make a lot of difference). I've tried a Delta 80mm fan on my old heatsink but just couldn't put up with the noise!!
So now I've got a TaiSol CGK742092 that is MUCH quieter and has a bigger heatsink. My temps were lower with the Delta (around 45C - 46C under load (with the window open!)) but now I've swapped there's a huge noise drop but a bit of a temp rise (around 50C (underload)with the window open which it's next to).
The CPU is an unclocked Athlon 1Ghz on and Abit board. Now I'm thinking that I'll probably need a new case to get the temps down any more because I'm a bit limited on the placing of fans. The Abit board has the socket quite high on the board so the heatsink's only about 1 1/2 inches from the PSU.
So can anyone recommend a good case for a warm 1Ghz Athlon that's not too expensive (And hopefully available in England!). Anything around £50 or below (about $75 or less).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!
