Use Everest or PCWizard 2006 or you can even check the PC Health section of your BIOS.

Yess .. i'm using an Antec VCool indeed .... actually i can't specifically tell u how much the temps went down only for the vcool as i changed my case at the same time ... but comparing it a friend .. my avg. load temps are almost 7-8c lower than his .. around 62c ..... idle's around 40-42c ... thats good enough for me ... although i see peaks of 70c .. but only peaks .....

kalpik · 11-05-2006, 11:21 PM

43 degrees is pretty much normal if u ask me..

QwertyManiac · 11-05-2006, 11:23 PM

freakabhishek · 19-05-2006, 01:55 AM

Get one of these HDD coolers.... check out this page on ebay... these coolers are also available in the local computers stores... I found these coolers quite good - they dropped my HDD temeperature by about 7 - 10C

cyrux · 19-05-2006, 08:40 AM

Make your own cooler for that sake. There are a couple of good tutorials in the tutorial section. Check those out. one is adding a fan just below the hdd and the other is adding heat sinks on hdd (thats if u have enough room)

freakabhishek · 19-05-2006, 11:44 PM

guess what guys i have added 2 fans removed heat sink cleaned
applied thermal paste and put it back now my cpu temp is from 70 to 44
and hdd temp from 44 to 36

cyrux · 20-05-2006, 10:26 AM

Where did u add the fans ? Side panel ?
