Back to give you some data about temperatures I took in my PC: [Heatsink + fan configuration: CPU/Sys/AUX °C (idle); CPU/Sys/AUX °C (full load)] AMD heatsink + AMD fan: 35/30/35; 36/52/41 Scythe NINJA fanless: 34/26/36; 33/48/47 Scythe NINJA + Scythe fan (present configuration): 27/26/36; 29/42/46...

Two days ago I bought the ABIT motherboard I named before, so I'm going to resell my ASUS M2NPV-VM. Apart differences in connection layout, lack of parallel port and HDTV card (that I don't need), the ABIT NF-M2 nView has an heatpipe that connects NB cooler with a larger heatsink located between the...

i'd start with option (c). if the NB were still too hot, try addding 1 92mm fan, then another if necessary. as a last resort, find a way to aim a fan directly at the NB. not a great solution, but perhaps the best available. I hate to admit, but probably option "d) buy another mobo" sounds less prob...

It might just be my specific board -- I'm really not sure. If you need to do real-time audio or video streams you might just have the same issues (I assume you might based on the firewire requirement). Well, the main (the only?) reason I need a new PC at home is that I need a system able to process...

the fanless ninja will cool the CPU fine, but something like a zalman CNPS-7000 or CNPS-7500 might blow some air over the NB. maybe the stock NB heatsink would work OK with one of those. So, which could be the best solution for cooling my Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard with Athlon X2 BE-2400 CPU inside ...

I had just bought an used Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard , when I read this post. My plan was to use the M2NPV-VM with an Athlon X2 BE-2400 CPU (2.3GHz, 45W) and a Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B or Scythe Ninja Mini cooler inside an Antec NSK3480 case without any PCI or PCI-E card. Incidentally, I have a Zalman...
