It's hard to cool dual athlons. There's just too much heat generated \8(. My system already has 3 CASE FANS, 1 SLOT FAN, 2 Power Supply fans, 2 Hard Disk tray fans, and of course 2 Volcano 7+ FANS. The 7+'s are running at 6000 RPM. My case is the Lian Li 65, and i'm using the rounded IDE cables. I average at 48.5C to 50C at idle, going up to 55C when compiling stuff. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
