"One for the case itself" is probably not enough air flow. (I've got
one in front and one in back) No one yet has mentioning modifying the
'computer cubby'. I'd consider making a nice big hole in it and adding
a fan to it. If the cubby is so well protected, why not take the side
panels off the pc? I'm running right now with the side panel off my
pc, my P4 chip runs a couple degrees C cooler that way (and still
right around 50 degrees). I figure that temp is more important than
mother board temerature. I do have an aftermarket fan and heat sink on
my CPU. You didn't mention the type of CPU her machine is running or
the temperatures it's encountering.

I have yet to have a P4 "any" model run hotter than 35c under full load
even
when gaming Unreal 2004 for hours on end. 50c is getting way up there.

I haven't seen many later P4s able to idle at 35c much less max out under
stress there. That was one of the problems with the P4. I have a P4 EM64T
I630 that will barely get to 35c with a very good liquid cooling
system...and that is idle temp. With liquid, it will max out much lower
than
air at 50c or so, but with air it will go up to 65+ but stays very stable.
I
think you must be reading the wrong temps there. 35c sounds like a MB temp
rather than the CPU temp on any P4.

No, its the cpu temp as read by multiple softwares.

I use Cooler Master Hyper48 coolers in the two systems in question.


You must have a VERY cold room...........:-)
