Hot

Well this current spat of hot weather has once again perturbed my poor little rig

Hopefully in a few weeks after a rebuild then I can get her running at an acceptable temperature again, however any advice on hor to get the core temp down would be handy.

Current setup...

Abit nf7-s rev 2.0
Athlon XP 3000+ Barton Core
1.5GB PC3200
ATI Radeon 256MB Sapphire 9800 pro Ultimate Edition / Digimate 1715 LCD / Compaq S700
200GB SATA 150 Seagate HDD
120GB ATA 133 Seagate HDD
Creative Inspire P580 5.1 Speakers
NEC ND 3500a DVD-RW
Thermaltake Volcano 12 HS/F
Thermaltake Xaser III Lanfire VM1000a
Akasa Ultra Quiet 400W Paxpower Active PFC ATX2.0 PSU - Black Nickel
2x90mm fans
2x80mm fans

She's running at about 60 degrees with all the fans maxed, hopefully a nice bit of a clean and a reapplication of arctic silver (after carefully cleaning the core and HS) will get her back down to a reasonable level but if anyone has any suggestions (and nothing silly) then that'd be much appreciated
