i have a MSI K7N2Delta motherboard and an Athlon 2700+, Just got the Athlon(up from a 1700+...wanted the 333FSB of the 2700), so im taking it up a few notches a day. Default is 166FSB, im at 170 now = 2.2ghz, i want 2.5, Temp at 98f while idle, 104f at full load. Still a little high. 3 80mm in the front bottom and top case, 1 80mm intake on left side bottom case, 1 80mm outtake on left side top case, 2 80mm back top case, 2 60mm on the cpu and 1 60mm on the chip set...then my graphics card has heatsinks and a fan and the 80mm power supply fan. All is stable and acceptable for the moment. Good thermal grease helps too. I use arctic silver and an aluminum HS with good results. Id like to go to water, but i havent the need at the moment, so air will do for me.......open a case side and put a big box fan right next to it if u cant get some casefans at the moment, if need be, mod the case, i took tin snips and made fan ports on the side, the top of the case is next....2 80mm ports on top will draw out alot of heat:) hope u figure some thing out....
