I have decent air flow in my case but it suffers from being in an enclosed computer cabinet. I have it OC to 3.0ghz, is their a worth while upgrade that will run cooler and allow me to overclock a bit more.

Looked at the q8400 but not sure if it's any better.
 
I have done as much as i can in regards of getting more air flow in to the cabinet. She who must be obeyed would go radio rental if I drilled holes in it, she still goes on about how i have ruined it by putting 2 screws on to one of the side panels to mount my router.

I think i'll have to look at alternative cooling, maybe an all in one h2o system.
 
Who really ever needs the extra processing power, it's not that i need it it's that it can do it and i would like to try and push it as far as possible with my limited circumstances.
 
Afraid I have upgraded to wife 1.0 and i'm not feeling suicidal currently :D

Might look in to the h50 or similar products as they may well be my best option at the moment.
 
well I think i'll just leave it for the time being it's not struggling with any thing currently. Hopefully in 6 months my little one will move out of the nursery and share with his sister so i can reclaim my study.

Thanks for all the replies and helpful comments though.
