I don't really know what the brand is, I looked around but couldn't find it. lol It's a 530W. I watched the Temp and Voltage for awhile. The voltage seemed to be pretty steady. I haven't done alot with Althon XP cpus but the tempatues seemed pretty bad to me. It got up to 140F and stayed around that area until I decided to shut it off, never froze but I didn't want to run any longer. The mobo temp was around 80F.

I probably need a better CPU fan, I have a thermaltake in my PC but the media machine just has one that came with the CPU/Mobo combo. I also have 3 case fans, one front, one back, one side, as well as two in the power supply. I probably need to find a better way to arrange that for better airflow. Any suggestions? What's a good, quite fan for that CPU?

Thanks for all your help.
