I recently built my first computer -
Antec PlusView 1000AMG
P4 3.4 GHz
Abit IC7-G
2x512 MB PC3200
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256 MB
PowMax 580W PSU
... etc.
Anyway, I noticed that the CPU temp was getting a bit high so I replaced the stock heat sink with a Thermaltake Spark 7+ (with Arctic Silver 5). Now the CPU is running a few degrees cooler but its still at about 47 idle and 61 at full load (CPU fan at 6000+ rpm). I have 5 case fans and the temps stay the same with the case open so I don't think that is the problem. The system temp stays around 28C which is close to ambient temp here. Is there anything I could do (outside of water cooling or peltier devices) or could there be a problem with my temperature sensors?
