Asus Pundir 350R Cooling Problem

[claytow]

Guys,

I have just bought a Asus Pundir 350R second hand for a media PC but it has a bit of a cooling issue. It is a Small form Bookshelf type system so not much room at all inside. it has a 3Gig P4 skt 478 in it at the moment and is running at about 70 degrees. I dont think this is too high but it has a silly fan sensor on it and if it hits 70 then it goes to high and makes a bit of a noise. If i tun it off its on high all the time and I dont want that being in my lounge.
Anyway it has a copper CPU heatsink but its bery low profile and only has a 70mm fan on it which is an unusual size. I cant find anymore infact, or find one that might be quieter and have more airflow. There is not enough height for a converter ring to take it to 80mm either.
Any of you guys know of a P4 socket 478 processor heatsink thats not a big as a bus as they all seem to be today but is still effective? it needs to be smallish but its more of a height restriction rather than width, could probably fit an 80mm fan in, but only if the heatsink is nice and shallow.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

get a standard cheap, but suitable coolermaster or akasa heatsink (£4 one for example) .. cut the fins with a hacksaw so they are the right height, drill a hole in each corner on the fins, tie wrap 80mm fan to it... job done ... and molex power the fan so its not controlled by the daft sensor

its how i do my sff systems if hsfs dont fit

But I take it 70 degrees is still o.k. though? although I would like i to be less
