    Ok, since i've gotten this p4 system and folding 2 sessions, i'm always running at 55-58C on the prescott, this is with the intel HSF, i've since bought a CopperChill P4 and this thing was a peice! i was getting 60-64C on it, so i need you guys to tell me a good HS or HSF combo that will get me into the low to mid 40's. Thanks!

    Nice reviews, anyone have any good info on the SilverStone NT01's?

    I don't know how much airflow i should need, i have a card cooler half over the video and half on the CPU, the side of the case is completely open, i know there has to be something we can do to make the Intel HSF operate better. I've lapped both the Intel HSF and the pos CopperChill P4 HSF to a mirror finish (2000Grit) with no drop in temps when full load.

    as much ourtide air as you can put on it would help ... I have been known to us those desk clip on fans on an open case... Cheesy, but works. ;)

    Otherwise get a good fan in front pulling in, one on the side pulling in and one on the back (or two if you have room) behind the cpu pushing out.

    Keep you cables out of the way as best as possible too.
