glad to hear things are better... 32C is respectable.... high for a PIII, but ok.. 44c is way too high for a PIII. (I'm assuming 32C was the highest of the four temps reported by speedfan...) Just curious, what changed? Why'd it drop? was it just a software glitch?
I'm running an athlon 1333 @ 1466 (multiplier adjustment). my core voltage reads 1.83v, but I didn't change it. Don't quite understand. (stock FSB... for some reason it crashes if I change it, and I haven't had time to tweak. This mobos defective, got a replacement on the way. ...gigabyte GA-7DXR)
Eheim 1250
1/2" hose w/ 5/8" fittings, except for 1/2" on block.
Maze 3
bigass econoline heater core, cooled by a 172mm comair rotron 24v fan @ 9-12v.
with all fans running at max, 32C idle
with rad fan at about 9v, and other fans min, 37C idle
Bear in mind that I have only got a slow 80mm intake... I used to have nothing for intake. When I put it in, my temps dropped 2C.

I'm going to put a 120mm in the side of the case. I should hit 30C. After graduation, I'm going to redesign this whole thing and move all cooling components outside the case, and far from me. This should further improve temps.
