Zing, if you want us to go C2D then donate us the board/cpu and we'll happily do it mate

Lol, another trip to my mate to cadge his artic silver off of him
Would you suggest lapping the CPU block to get it smoother, or just use some brasso/duraglit to get it smooth?
I may have to revisit the case/fan situation again then. The problem is due to no chipset fan or a fan on the GPU so heat is radiated into the case more! The 80mm intake is held in a plastic cage that clips onto the inside of the case at the front, so it's not actually on the outside of the chassis but inside it. It should be between the front removable panel and the front of the chassis where there is more space to draw in cooler air. May have to start cutting some holes in the front chassis and use the 120mm fan thats hung under the HDD bay rather than the 80mm fan. Could also drill some air holes in the front plastic cover to help draw in more air. Something to play about with tomorrow then
