Thanks for the reply, I`m using ASUS pc probe utility that came with the mobo and it says right now its 36C. In games it gets around 50C MAX. I think pulling that thermaltake probe from the CPU helped it. Oh, and dis, change your avartar, thats disturbing.

Hehe, I live in scotland mate. I bought this card when it was first released and it cost me 370 quid! It wasnt working properly though, so I took it back, got a refund and now I have a gigabyte card. I really want that Hercules back. It scored quite a bit higher in 3dmark2003 too...

hmm, in mobo monitor 5, it says around 31C idle, but I dont think this is accurate. Plus, it jumps rapidly higher when haming. Still, I think I should be safe. The thing I dont understand is, I went from a Jetway mobo (peice of crap) with a 2700+ XP to an ASUS P4C800 with a 2.8GHz 800FSB and...

Is there anyone with an ASUS P4C800 board, that can tell me how to speed up the fan? Also, would a better fan and arctic silver solve this, or will it merely reduce heat a little?

The one with the blue led fan? Its a really good card, plus it overclocks so well, maybe even the best overclocking radeon 9800 pro, cause it has ramsinks all over it, and a good fan. They are a little pricey though, or they were, but they might be as cheap as a sapphire now.

I would definately not get that. It sounds weak, and will have really crappy ram chips on it. Get a Hercules if you want the best, or a saphire is pretty good, but pricey. I have a Gigabyte card, and it runs fine. I used to have a hercules 9800 pro, and it was very very good, and stayed very...

Plus, intel p4s are usually cooler running than the athlons... I had an athlon 2700+ XP and it ran upto 67C in the summer, thats at its absolute hottest, but usually at around 55C. I dont know why the temperatures were shooting straight up that high when I was playing a game, but they dropped...

I unclipped the cpu fan clips but I couldnt get the fan and heatsink out of the mobo, but i managed to pull the probe wire out slightly, so now its just in between the heatsink and fan. I think it was in between the cpu thermal pad and the top of the cpu before. Now in my bios, I get 47C when...

just got my new system back today and I have a thermaltake xaser 3 case and a P4 2.8GHz C 800MHz FSB with stock heatsink/fan. The BIOS on my motherboard (ASUS P4C800) is reading the temprature at over 65C, whereas the "hardcano" LCD screen linked by probes to my CPU is reading in the high 30Cs...

Uh oh, I`m gonna be building a system with a p4 2.8GHz 800FSB, 2 512mb ddr400, a radeon 9800 pro, 3 hard drives and all in a Xaser III case that has 7 case fans!!! doesnt look good, its gonna be running on a 300W PSU....

Nice to hear someone else saying good things about the xaser III case, since I now have one of these and I`m gonna have my new computer built into it by saturday. I had a look inside it and it looks so cool, 7 fans and plenty of ventilation. Very big case though.

I`ve got a Black Thermaltake Xaser V1000A with window coming any day this coming week, it will go well with my new Xaser black keyboard and mouse combo. It has 7 fans in the case already, im getting the xaser cpu fan too, plus: p4 2.8GHz 800MHz FSB ASUS P4C800 Mobo WesternDigital...

The 9600 XT is not on par with the 9800 pro. Remember that the 9800 Pro has more hardware features, including more pipelines etc. I`ve seen benchmarks, and even the 9800 XT (clocked at 415MHz core) is only slightly better than 9800 Pro (128MB) in games. Not even noticable if you were playing...

I`m just checking it whenever I restarted computer, I looked at the Bios reading.

I got a crap shop to upgrade it, it was a crappy little shop in Glasgow scotland that didnt give me the best motherboard or cooler. The cooler I have is a q-tec something or other. 67 degrees is the temprature I got before in summer after it had been on for ages whilst playing hours of...

aaaaaaahahahaha My two mates were fighting last night and we seen the most feeble swinging punches, but that white guy there thought he was gonna crack the black guy, but it was rather feeble and got him an ass woopin. Who are these two? anyone you know?

Cant beleive how fast I got a reply there!!

If your wondering who plays the voice of Gordon Freeman in Half Life, play the game all through twice with both endings, then you will find out who. Maybe then, you will be ready to play Half Life 2. ;)

Ok, so I dont know much about steam, but I do know that you might be able to buy Half Life 2 on it and download it and receive a key through email or another method. Does anyone know when it will be available for download? I mean Half Life 2 BTW.

67 degrees celcius is as hot as the CPU can get, but thats on very rare occasions, but doesnt happen now due to the cooler weather, now its around 58.... Dont know if its worth upgrading the motherboard now cause the new 64 bit CPUs will be here soon and I can get all new componentes for that...
