put in new motherboard - motherboard and everything seems to be running hot (to the touch). cpu (amd xp 2600+) in old motherboard (without silver compound) ran at 150F degrees. now it does about 110~120. still very hot. the heatsink is a standard amd heatsink (aluminum i think). just ordered a 80mm fan that runs at 5000rpm or so over the standard 60mm running at 4000rpm thats fitted on now. also ordered 2 80 mm fans to put in the case (already have 3 fitted). anyone know of a good cheap copper heatsink for socket A?? dust is also a problem, i was planning on put on some panty hose netting over the intake fans (cheapest way). any other ideas on how to cool this biatch down?? much thanks.
