Well for those of you who probably dont care, I got my upgrade today...Check the sig! One simple question, If i'm not overclocking what shoudl I keep the fan speed at for the processer (High, Medium, Low). If you dont know what I'm talking about just do a search in google for Thermaltake volcano 7 plus.

Nice to hear that

...hmmm, why not try monitoring your temp. at different fan speeds and set what best suits you?...

btw. beware of ol'Billy, he might see your sig. and have somethin' to say

LOL!

Well I have my fan on low and the temp is like 45 degrees celcius. Is that too hot?

I'd go for the medium setting; couldn't hurt to lower your CPU temp. if you can...

45 is just fine and dandy. Keep the speed at low and save yourself your sanity!!

Yea your right Dallasstar, I turned the fan on medium and it was too loud so I have it set to low. If I ever decide to overclock it i'll put it on medium or maybe even high. But for now low is fine.

For those of you who are curious as to know the max temp. for an athlon xp is Athlon XP 1500 - Athlon XP 2100 = 90 degrees celsius. I just found out this info so now I know my 42 degrees is pretty good!

I should say more than preety good, as my proc. runs @38°C, which is also kinda good
