Hi,

I have just built myself a new system using a Abit KG7-Lite motherboard, and an AMD Athlon 1GHz CPU.

Using the Via HM monitor, and running the United Devices agent I'm seeing a peak sustained CPU temp of 55C, do you think that is too high? If so what cooler would you recommend I purchase? The system temp is 38c

I have a 'no name' cooler and fan on there at the moment, that was meant to be able to cool up to 1.3GHz.

thanks in advance,

greg

Has links to comparative reviews. The ones at the top are well weird.
