My load temps suck!!!!

[moosedick]

I have an Intel PIII 700 and I o/c it on my Asus CUSL2-C. I am using an Enlight 7237 case with 2 80mm case fans. My heatsink is a copper OCZ Gladiator with a YS Tech fan. My load temps can reach 50C. My idle temps are 34C. Is there any way to help this? I really don't want to add any noisy fans. The system is already loud enough for me. The system runs at 1000mhz but performs best at 980. I think it must be because if the temps.

did you lap it? and did you get it on straight?, and did you use ARS?. seems high to me with dual fans and that particular HSF. worth checking out

Do you know your case and ambient temps? This would seem to me to be the probable thing keeping your cpu temps high...based on my experience with my cpu. I am not familiar with the cooler you have and how it would compare to my Alpha, but I have a 700 also and ran very high temps when OC'd until I put in better case cooling. I've never approached 50C, the highest I've had it was 45C when running @980, 1.85v. at full load. I know you said you don't like noisy fans, I don't either...so I put all my fans on a separate switch so I can turn em on when I need em. Just a thought. :)

*edit*..and as Dosier768 said, are you sure the cooler is seated correctly and that you are using thermal paste? That sounds like a pretty good cooler, so if everything is on correctly, I would go back to case temps.
