Thanks Stacey...what would be considered too hot in the cpu area?

I bought exactly the same type of fan a few months ago. Mainly to reduce
noise as the stock Intel fan seems very noisy when it gets to 4500rpm.
I have my Zalman running at 2600rpm (no speed controller), and the CPU
(3.15GHz HT P4) idles at 28C. Under severe load this goes up to 48C.
Is your heatsink fitted level, did you remove all of that old Intel thermal
crud?
Of course, my temp readings good be way out (Gigabyte mobo and that
EasyTune4 spp).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

graeme..thanks for the reply. I disconnected the fan controller. Now idle I
am at 38, 32,32. Intel mobo, p4 3.0c. I do have fan control enabled in the
bios. Maybe I could drop a few degrees if I disable? Just a thought....

That sounds whacky, what is the ambient temp? What does the board say the
mobo temp is? That's only like 6-8C over room temp. I've never seen under
35-40C on any CPU.

To the OP anything under 60C should be fine, 50C is nothing to worry about.

I've just powered the PC on (5 minutes ago) and the CPU is at 23C, ambient
(according to nVidia) is 32C (nVidia GPU at 42C).
Now I'll hammer it!
One hour later and CPU:48 Ambient:51 GPU:71.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

pardon the ignorance..what is the ambient temp? mobo shows boot up temps
were around 38, 32, 32. After an hour or so ( ran a few games, surfed
around) showing 44 , 37, 38.

Those were about the temps with the stock intel fan and heatsink. However
noise is greatly reduced.

Ambient actually refers to room temp but I think Graeme was using it to mean
case temp. Maybe that's what his software labels it as.
