I'm having some problems with the cooling for a non-overclocked machine. Its a duron 1ghz and i have 1 80mm case fan and im using the volcano 6cu+. The temps seem pretty high 48C full load
and about 42C idle. I'd like to get the temps down either to the low 40s or into the 30s. I don't want mod so i need some suggestions. I will defintely add another 80mm case fan and maybe a slot exhaust fan but I don't know if its neccesary to get a new hsf. Suggestions on all aspects of the cooling would be appreciated.

Yes, im using artic silver II. without thermal I don't think it would boot at all. Thanks for the advice, I will try the case fans and see what happens.

flip the fan by the CPU over so it blows into the case and you will drop 3C.
