I added a new CPU cooler to my PC today, I picked up an OCZ Vindicator, it has lowered my idle CPU temps about 8 degrees at idle, and 15 under full load.
Here is a pic of the insides of my pc, the CPU cooler is the massive shiny thing, can't miss it.

Quoting eh1eh
I had no problems with heat prior, with the new cooler I can overclock the piss out of the CPU though. I have it running stable at 3.4ghz right now... not too bad for a CPU which has a stock speed of 2.13ghz.
Yep, that's big and shiny . Did you have a heat problem or are you just going for optimum proformance?

I think dual core is in your future mate.
I'm hoping to. I have become hardcore geek in the past couple years, like a hot rodder who wants every hp he can get from his small block, I try to do the same from a pc.

I run at 5.2 without over clocking, I hear ya about the speed. Actually a friend came over for a visit and while here asked to copy a cd for him to use in his car so that the original doesn't get ripped off. First burn on this system and it went so fast we thought something was wrong and spent twice the amount of time it took to burn the cd looking for the problem. heh heh
It's staggering how far we have come in 15 years with these things.

Durka,
here's a cooler you might be interested in for your next computer. Or maybe your current one:

where to find it.
I have NORTON, and it blasts almost everything through quarantine, and then it's gone, simple EMails
come in OK, and PM from forums come in OK, and my hockey poole, and that's about it.
When I delete mail, it disappears, and many things are quarantined and automatically disappear.
There is never anything in my delete box.
I have contacted Norton a few times, a person comes on tech help support, and trys to help me but they soon disappear, as they don't seem to be able to help me, maybe they're quarantined too,

OK, since you know lots about PC's, tell me why my deleted mail totally disappears, and I don't know

I assume you are using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook express?
Do you have your mail client set to delete items from the "deleted items" folder after 24 hours or something?
When you receive mail, is Norton is automatically sending it to the trash?
Normally, your Outlook Express mail would be stored in 4 different folders.... inbox.dbx , outbox.dbx , sentitems.dbx , deleteditems.dbx . If you happen to have multiples of those folders, Norton might be getting confused and storing the mail to the wrong file.

Don't know what mail client is, but the answer is no, as far as I know.
Yeah, Norton automatically sends many things to 'wherever', and even when I delete anything from my inbox page, it
just disappears, never goes to delete box.
Yeah, I have all those titles, and also drafts.
I have to figure out how to actually get a 'live' person at Norton, so I will work on that.

Yeah, it's Outlook Express
