    just looking for a new heat sink and fan for my P4 2.8 GHz. Im just running the stock on it at the moment and cooling is a little bit of a problem.the only problem i have is space.my case is the Artic Cooling Silentium t1 so its not huge for a massive fan and heat sink.Any other cooling suggestions would be welcome too cause my Gfx card currently idles at 52 degrees with an ambient temp of 35-40+ degrees NOT GOOD

    my rig is :

    P4 2.8Ghz
    1024Mb Ram
    XFX Geforce 6800Gt 256Mb
    ABit Is7 Mobo
    120Gb Seagate Barracuda
    etc etc

    Idle temp of 52 degrees is totally fine for your gfx card. If you're worried just pick up an NV Silencer 5 somewhere for it, or one of the new zalman gfx card flower coolers. It's hard to get a high end Geforce 6 idling much cooler than that though. The load temperature would be of more importance. Try playing a game for an hour then jump straight out to check temperature as quick as u can. Unless its topping 75-80 degrees it isnt a worry.

    For the CPU... http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=306455&cks=PRL would be good if it would fit (not sure if it does or not). Failing that a CNPS-7000 is good aswell
