Hi! I'm new to this forum but i've seen alot of posts on heat issue. I just want to put in my experience too. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ CPU on ASUS A7V8X-X M/B. I was having heat problem for a long time.
I just switched my CPU Heatsink from the original one which came with my processor to Vantec Aeroflow VA4-C7040 and my heat level is now 10C-20C lower.
My CPU used to be about 67C in normal use (casing closed) and hits 80C when the CPU is at 100% utilization (starts beeping). I use this freeware called HeavyLoad from http://www.jam-software.com/software.html
to push my cpu to 100%.
Now, when i switched to my new heatsink, normal use temp is about 53C and hits 65C when the CPU is at 100%.
Anyone having CPU heat problem should try changing their cooler with a better one. It helped me, im sure it will help u guys too
