my spec is zalman 9500 on an opteron 146 2.6ghz 2gb ballistixs and an asus v9999 (6800) graphics card, and an msi k8n neo2 platinum mobo. my gfx runs at about 50 degrees and this sits right next to my zalman (1 cm away) could this be contributing to the high temps? (im going to put a zalman cooler on this). my case temps are around 20 degrees +/- 1 degree. i have a fan blowing onto my zalman fan in the side of my case and 2 exhaust fans and 3 intake fans at the front.
i know i should stop looking at temps but i can't help it - i want to keep clocking my cpu but can't until i get some decent temps i.e. <40 load.
jdl what variables are you referring to, and how can i fiddle with them?
thanks
