Ok let's see. AMD 2600XP CPU in an Asus A7N8X mobo. Was playing UT2k4, Asus probe was blipping at me. Apparently my CPU was at 73C. The mobo is always at 40C give or take a couple Cs either way. Got a hot as hell Asus 9800XT as well. I have two fans on the back of the case and one of those PCI sized fans underniegth the vid card. The CPU fan is the one that came with the AMD cpu and is still working. Recently I took the side panel off because the vid card was heating it up so badly it was way too hot to the touch.
Right now I am using the natural system aka open the window and have the fricken cold air come in, that helps but I'd rather not freeze myself. A non OCed 2600 shouldn't be that hot normally should it??
