i just thought of something i should have asked a few days ago when people were still replyin. Would it matter that I'm running my 1600+ with a 300W PSU? If I increased the PSU to a 400W or more, would that also help decrease the amount of heat? I turned my vantec fan around to blow onto the ax-7 heatsink and my temp is still 55C w/o case fans at idle.
