Overheating problem

For what it is worth, I've got a Volcano 9 on an AMD 1900+ right now and it tends to run at 50-51c idle and around 56-59c at full load. Temperature in the case runs around 34-38c. I'm not all that impressed with the heatsink as even at these temps I've got it going full blast (5400rpm) and it is quite loud. Most of the reviews I've read indicate much better heatsinks on the market. Here is one link with a round up of Heatsinks and fans. Hope this is helpful...

Good luck,

That seems rather high I have an Athlon 1800+ and just the stock heatsink and fan ( will change soon ) its not 3 monthes old yet the whole rig is still new but my temps are around 39c idle and 49c under full load .... i do use cpuidle so that lowers my temps by 10c but still yours seems a little high to me
