Yeah, I've played around with my memory!
My temp is monitored with "speedfan", which automatically varies the speed of the CPU fan. The CPU never goes over 62, but the board recently went up to 58, which is, uh, worriyng. but if I speed up the case fan it should be OK.
I was very careful when coosing the parts of my PC: my case has 2 80mm rear fans, a side air intake (with a tunnel) to bring fresh air directly to the CPU. The CPU is a 1st generation P4-800, wich are way cooler than the actual ones. The CPU fan is the intel fan provided with the P4 3.2ghz D(or E?), which gives up way more heat than my current CPU. So I can afford to run it at low speed most of the time.
So I dont think that I can upgrade my cooling system. I could get some better air cooling system for the CPU from the US or Europe. But in lebanon, the only better CPU fan/heatsink that I could find are these 7000 rpm CPU fans that sound like a vacuum cleaner and will keep me awake! Liquid cooling is nice, but expensive, and I'll have to order it from the outside too.
