CPU and SYSTEM working temperature

PCM is very hard to find locally, best bet is under a new heatsink. I do have a bunch of them, you can have some but I don't live very near your place...

If it's too much trouble grease will do if you're just a "regular PC user"...

also baka d naman cpu heat ang nag cause ng crash sa pc but hdd heat,if you are using 7200rpm then maybe you can install hdd fan.

if you really want cool cpu then install a water based cooling stuff just like during my college days when i used to overclock amd processor hehehe.

Dati DIY lang yang water based radiator cooling fan pero i think you can have it now for roughly 3k. im not really updated when it comes to this because im just content with intel based processor which does not require too much tweaking.

another cheap suggestion .. tuktuk mo lang electric fan sa bukas na cpu hehehe.

also you can consider aluminum based cpu case like the enlight series but then that is roughly 5k for their entry level if i am correct.

Good advice. That's probably why our Athlon XP 1700+ min temp has gone up. I haven't changed the thermal paste in like 4 years.

its been proven that an aluminum case doesn't help in lowering the internal temperatures.

as much as possible for my servers i stick to maxtor 5400 rpms.....i had experience w/seagates, pero my maxtors held way better than seagate,specifically barracuda 7200 rpm..madali magkabad-sector at HDD crash...40gig lang server ko...and its hard to find 5400 rpm HD these days, brand-new....lalo na 80 gig up!

maxtor ang choice ko lang,e..sa MB, asus/ecs/redfox...
