    I just got doom3 and am amazed by the performance of my comp when playing.
    However it does push my cpu temp up a bit. Although this has not caused any problems yet it would be nice to get that temp down a bit.
    I currently have a Antec Truepower 430W PSU which automatically alters the speed of the two fans inside it. I fear that the PSU might not be speeding the fans up as much as I would like when playing high end games.
    Can anyone make some real good suggestions on cpu and system cooling.
    Also please dont suggest water cooling as it is just far too expensive at the mo :eek:

    It might be a little hard to find, as I believe Thermalright has discontinued it.

    Thats good. My 2700 can only go so far as 2.28GHz. Mainly because of the ram, but even at stock speeds it does hit 51c under load.
