Seems to me that the cooling in my system is way inadequate. I've been
looking around at what to add to make the temp go down.
I also talked to a college who has a Celeron box (Quake machine) and he
doesn't get any higher than the low 30's. Which is my idle temp.
He has a cooling unit with 2 fans on the CPU. In my box each CPU has a
smaller unit with only one fan. Is the 2 fan option possible on a BP6
considering the distance between the CPU's and the power supply?
Is that the better option or should I go for something else?

I know but I needed some reference and since Seti creates a load of about 1
on each CPU that was a good reference for me.

How about the 65C that the supplier set?

Do you mean right in front or just somewhere at the front of the box?
I have a default location at the front where I can mount a fan but it's at
the bottom. Isn't that a better location seeing that the air will have to
travel over the MB?

The power supply that I have is a 230W that only has to serve the MB, a
disk and a CDROM. Everything else is external. Should be enough I think.

I've seen that and have already created a script that will stop the seti
processes when it happens.
