help cooling xp1900

[TimDgsr]

my temperature, according to bios, is right at 50C and the inside temp is around 30. the temps seem high to me

AMD xp1900, not sure what the heatsink/fan is, but i know it looks like trash

it's on a GA-7VTXE and in a antec sx1030, two 80mm fans mounted in the back.

i need suggestions on a fan, preferably clip mount so i don't have to remove the mobo.

are there any programs i can use to monitor my temperature from inside windows?

any ideas/suggestions? thanks

Could try a SK6.

Your airflow seems kind of horrible where there is no intake and only exhaust consider more I think thats why your temperatures are so high.

Try using ASII and consider lapping the retail and it should go down to a near 10 degrees.

I would recommend the Millennium Glaciator or the new CoolerMaster heatpipe or water cooling(Go for it if you can gives your ear some insurance).

You can't go wrong with either 3.

Water cooling being most extreme out of those.
And G2 and CoolerMaster tying up somewher.e

Hey Tim,

Try out MotherBoard monitor to watch the temps:

thanks for the link, got it going now. any idea what the 3rd sensor is for my motherboard?

i think i'm going to order a glaciator next week, and an intake fan

any ideas on a filtering system for my case? it's getting dusty fast

thanks for the replies:)

Invest in some fan intake filters, they're cheap and effective. You can get them at like Fry's or something like that. :)
