need a reccommendation for cooling
Havent been around for awhile, but im back.
I posted once with no luck, so here i ask again. Im running a p4 3.0E ghz HT CPU (478) with 2 80mm fans and the stock cpu sink. Problem when im kicking butt  in farcry or generals, My computer fans start to go fast and make as much noise as a washing machine!!any cheap and effective (and cool looking) things i can do for my poor comp? Thanks a lot in advance for your help! |

You do get what you pay for but check out ZALMAN fans, not cheap though..

What kind of PSU do you have in your system?
Take a look below at this 80mm case fan... Vantec "Stealth" Double Ball Bearing Case fan These are supposed to run pretty quiet and they are pretty cheap. Thermaltake P4 Spark 7+ (Xaser Edition) Thermaltake always makes a nice heatsink w/fan. This one has adjustable speed controls on it. It runs about $25.00 US. AK
