My non-overclocked Athlon 1800+ usually runs at 65 C, and sometimes as high as 75 C when I don't run the a/c in the house. I use a Volcano 6 fan because it's a bit quieter than the 7. I have a fair amount of thermal grease on the heatsink. I have three fans blowing into the case, and one blowing exhaust straight out the top of the case. The thing as a whole already makes a ton of noise. I don't see why I'm not able to keep the temperature down. 75 C can't be a good thing. Does anyone have this problem? From the looks of some other threads, most of you seem to have much lower temps than I have. Any advice would be extremely helpful at this point. Thanks.
