    Help New PC Temps and Cooling

    I do not think case air flow is the reason. The Armor is a large case, and there is minimal restrictions in the case. (Sata cable, wrapped power supply cables, round IDE/Floppy). Also, if I remove both sides of my case to open up air flow, it only makes about a 2-3c degree drop in CPU temps. And...

    What is a good Windows XP temperature monitoring program? I used MBM for years, but I think it is no longer supported. My nVidia nTune monitor says it cannot run because my BIOS does not support.

    Zalman CNPS9500 Base NOT Flat

    It kept the 4800X2 CPU at around 38-40c at pretty much idle. Seems kind of high to me. However, I have tried 2 other CPU coolers and all are about the same temps. (Big Typhoon, SI-120). All using AS5 or AS Cermanique) I like the Zalman, but may have to return it to Newegg.

    Dlink DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter in WinXP

    I had to do the following to get it to work. 1) Uninstall the DWL-500/650 hardware from Device Manager, after the Auto WinXP install. 2) Install the drivers from the original CD (win2K I think). Then install the DWL-650 XP update from the Dlink site. This worked for me. Good luck.
