I have a Gigabyte Mobo with an Athlon XP 1600 processor. It is the retail unit with the factory heatsink and fan. I also have the front(input) and rear(exhaust) case fans. The problem that I'm having is that the constant temp in the case is ~46c/114f and the CPU is ~60c/140f. Is that too hot for computer components and if so is there a better heat sink combo that you can recommend? I run this server 24x7. Also has (2) SCSI drives, SCSI burner, and IDE CDrom Thanks in advance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
