SO, I own a P4 3.0GHz prescott and I noticed that with the stock HSF it was idling at 71C. And even though I can run BurnInTest for a good half an hour and ThrottleWatch never shows even one throttle despite the temps getting as high as 78C, I figure just maybe my CPU is running way too hot and I go out and I get:
A Zalman 7000Cu
Four case fans
A coolmax 450W PSU with a 120mm fan
My computer desk is backed up against a wall that has an air conditioning unit on it, blowing air up and out of the back of the desk. I prop up my CPU case on the top of the desk so that the two back fans are sucking the cold air into the case.
My idle CPU temp is now exactly five degrees lower.
I'm about to slit my wrists. I freaking hate my life.
