2462ng chipset overheating?

Thanks mate. I think you're right - my case is rather shitty. Rounded cables
might be the go and a new case perhaps :/ Still, I wanna get a chipset fan
also Overkill is good.

be carefull with rounded cables... I bought a nice 7 connectors
SCSI cable for mine and it turned up be just 'crap'.
For SCSI I use only the cable supplied by TYAN, as they say in the manual.

I always go for monster Case

I have been using rounded SCSI, IDE, and Floopy cables for just over a year
now and have not had any problems with my Thunder K7. I noticed that as soon
as I installed them the temp droped 3 degrees.

I also fully agree with the monster case. I have a Li-Lian PC-75 and I love
it. Alot less noisy them my old Inwin Q500.

I've been using high-quality rounded SCSI, IDE and floppy cables for about a
year now with absolutely no problems. Air flow in the case increased,
bringing my temps down a few degrees. (And the inside of my case sure looks
better.)

I second the "monster case" recommendation... much easier to work in and
certainly helps with cooling.
