| Cutting back OC We are having a heat wave. 97 F as I am typing this. Temps were hitting 70C and I decided that discretion is the better part of valor. Changed the FSB from 1333 to 1066 and CPU over voltage from 102% back to 100%. Still gives me 1.80ghz@2.40Ghz and temps at 60C. I'll live with that for the next few days.

 Hmm...I'm doing the exact opposite...  Slowly but surely increasing my clocks. Currently at a stable 3.5GHz with very good temps! Come Winter it will be idling around 80F.  Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 3.5GHz CPU-Z Validation

| Wonder why mine won't hold the temps down? I'm at 54c now, under full load. I think that's allways a given around here!

This is the reason it took me so long to buy because it costs more than other coolers do...but well worth the money & wait.

| Many good reasons to buy the Zalman Cooler One thing I notice about having an All Copper CPU cooler is the high load temps don't get near as high when compared to Aluminum. I did take the time to read "some" of the 1000 plus reviews out there on it & all said it was one of the best air coolers around for the price! *Bang for the Buck* and this is just using Newegg as source... "Review Summary (read all 1105 Review)" Sale Price: $53.99 Newegg.com - ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks

| We a little on the toasty side alright, breaking records at 100 at the last I heard but my two brothers are down at Othello where it's 106. Poor little buggers.

| That's like $200 or more. I can't do that. Even if I had the money i would't do that. I had sell off a number of things to get this build off the ground & there are two that are still sub par. The Video card and the sound card. This Heat wave will be gone in a couple of days, and then I'll put the FSB back to 1333, it will run nicely 1.80Ghz@3.00Ghz, and I'll start working on a getting a better vid card. Re-loaded XP and I've one core that's working away at 495 PPD. Who slipped the caffine to him? LOL
