I have a AMD XP 1600+ running on the Abit KR7A board and with no overclocking at the moment. i need a bit of advise from the experts in here. My CPU when running idle is at 50c with case temperature at 29c. CPU when at full load can run up to 56c. I took off the side panel of my PC case to see what temps i would get and was surprised to see the CPU temp when idle drop to 43c with case temp staying the same. I have one case fan at the moment. Could you guys give me some advise how i can get the temps especially of the CPU to stay at the lower levels with the side panel on?
