You can try installing more fans in the case, or upgrading the one in your pentium!!!

I guess I'm gonna get a new replacement for my heatsink, is this one good? http://shop1.frys.com/product/4635848?site...CH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Here's a list of the heasinks/fan combo: http://shop1.frys.com/search?query_string=...rom=0&to=24

The Zalman should be fine. Since you are living in California you might want to consider improving your airflow / room temperature as well.

you would be supprised how much cleaning your heasink u have (like the dust)

and repasting it down with thermal paste

that may do the trick

Just so you know (JakeeTm) thermal paste is supposed to be exactly that, thermal interface material, not a glue to hold down your heatsink/fan.

[JakeeTm]

shift i know

lol i just used the word repaste freely

im sure he knows what i was reccomending

[+shift. MVC]

Haha okay. It kind of worries me when some users use terms such as "slap on some thermal paste" or "glue your HSF down with some thermal compound".

:p

[JakeeTm]

im sorry i put it that way

i just know that reseting it can help even heat distribution

if i said that correctly

and cleaning it with a can if air or a vaccum would help

:D
