Ok, I've recently built a new computer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DFI "LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb" NVIDIA nForce3 250GB chipset
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
Thermaltake Fanless 103 Heatpipe Cooler "CL-P0019"
Arctic Silver 5 (to bondÂ’em)
ULTRA X-Connect 500 Watt Modular ATX Power Supply
PNY Vertro GeForce 6800GT
1GB DDR333
all put together inside an
Antec P-160
with a couple of
120mm Vantec SF12025L Double Ball Bearing Stealth Case Fans
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and it's overheating.... under load it easily hits 150f/60c
so i'm using thermaltake's fanless 103 heatpipe cooler "cl-p0019", and good thermal compound. i've re-applied the heat sink twice, first because i accidentally separated it from the cpu and a second time, recently, because i though i put on too much thermal compound on and that's why it was over heating, but it's still over heating? WTF! it's caused my computers to crashed a dozen times, under load, in the last week. I spent 40 buck's on it, but if I need a diffrent one........... then that's the way it is.......
