Hi I just bought a new pc. Actually I builded it together myself. I started to worry about the heating problems. As I posted my degrees and questions to other forum then guys from there reccomended me to post it here to overclockers.com.
So here I am.
Now I have had several problems with it and I'm quite sure that I need better cooling climate in my box. I'm going to take my case back to the shop and I hope that they will changet if I say that the power supply is not enough good for me. Actually I don't know if it is good or bad one but after reading tip at overclockers.com I found out that some instability problems are also caused by power supply. I made several tests with Sandra2001ME and here are the results.
Also my problem is that after scandisk my machne acts very weird. I haven't never watched them to the end to get know if they finished correctly. But in WinMe I made scandisk. I let it to do it at night while I were sleeping and at morning when I woke up machine didn't respond anymore. The screen was black in stand by mode and I had to make reboot. Next scandisk I made with Win2k and also I have no idea if it completed correctly. Does Win2k shows some results report so that you have to press any key to continue? Or may be that machine just made reboot?
I don't know. Anyway here are my screenshots:h^^p://www25.brinkster.com/pctroll/overheat/heat.html
Please let me know what shall I do.
My idea would be to replace existing case(which was together with 300W P/S and also was very cheap).
To buy new case w/o power supply. To buy into it good P/S from Enermax with two fans. Is Enermax good company, coz on the pricelist it seems so. And then to buy for my tbird1.33 one good heatsink what would be reccommended by amd. I think heatsink sufficent for xp1900+ will suits to my needs.
Thank you.

get a new case and heatsink, i would recomemed for the case an antec case as they have lost of cooling and look nice. fot the heatsink i would go for any copper one such as the thermalright sk6, although consider a new slower fan for it
