re: Usual giveaway is either more noise or a LOT LESS noise Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 10:15 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2208 messages posted) When cpu's began generating a great deal of heat 3-4 years back (probably a bit longer, even), I had an AMD Thunderbird (Athlon) 1.33 MHz processor in a mid-tower that seemed particularly prone to higher temps than I considered good for long life (and I do keep my PC's for fairly long life cycles); and that was without any overclocking. I added a separate pair of fans to the case, similar to what a newer case these days might have. It has an intake fan in the case side panel, right above the video adapter, and an exhaust fan in the back panel, just below the psu. The same TBird is still in it, but is about to retire now. And it did outlive its first psu by at least a year now. .
