You can get a device from Radio Smack called a thermal cooler...it it a membrane that sits between your processor and heatsink that has an electronic heat transfer element in it. (This hooks up to your MOBO). Will drop your CPU temp by about 30 degrees. Also, For thermal paste, buy Arctic Silver IV. It is expensive, but has silver oxide in it, which helps with heat transfer. BTW- Where is your RADEON in relation to the processor (I dont know this machine well just seen it a couple times)? It could be the culprit in your overheating problem...I bought a diferent Heatsink for mine. ..it has a fan on it. Has helped with locking issues before (in a 6400 G3) ...email me offlist @[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I can tell youu how to swap the heatsink on the card. -Joshuha -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
