Reply: (edit)"If i would lower my voltage would my temps go down?" yes. And if it also makes your system freeze, just reset cmos to get back to 1.65v

Reply: (edit)"right now i have my side cover off and a small desktop fan blowing into it" Well? no further comment on what affect it had? How about, "right now i have my side cover off and a small desktop fan blowing into it" & my idle temp dropped to 45C?

Reply: (edit)my bios only goes down to 1.55. i tried that but it would just keep restarting. the next setting i could use is 1.575. right now i am on that. didn't do to much for the temp.the only real diff. between the reg setting and this is that the voltage goes down to 1.6 ....b 4 it never went down past 1.63.

Reply: (edit)ok. I have one side fan blowing towards the cpu and memory.(this answers sthe one guys Q) NOW:
I have been using Pc alert 4 to get temps on my cpu and system. But last night I decided to download 8rdavcore and speedfan. When I check the cpu temps using 8rdavcore and speedfan they said the same thing(42-43*C). Then I looked at the temps that pc alert 4 said and it was 47*C. So I am not sure if pc alert 4 is wrong or what?
i hope that makes it easier

Reply: (edit)ok I jsut restarted my pc and I went into bios and looked at my temps in there and it says the same as speedfan and 8rdavcore(41-43*C) so I am just going to go by them for now on. Do you guys suggest buying a 80mm fan and putting it in the back of my case to get more airflow? right now I have only my sidefan blowing in. If you suggest more fans please tell. My case can handle 2 80mm in back, 1 in side, and 1 80mm or 120mm frontfan. AMD Athlon XP 2000+
