So long ago:
IBM PC
CPU - 8088 at (can anyone remember?) something like 3.77 MHz (is that right?)
640K RAM
2 5.25" FDD - no HDD
Sound? an internal speaker that only "beeped"
Green monochrome IBM monitor
Graphics - uhh, text
OS - DOS - version "very early"
That great IBM DOS manual in...
Yes - I'm very happy with that 58 C. although I don't play the most intense games (TW golf mostly).
Specs for the 540J list max case temp as 68 C so anything above that isn't good.

I was able to improve my cable management quite a bit and it dropped my temps by about 4 degrees C. So, it pays to make sure you've got the best possible airflow...

I think in the end you just have to try a few and use the...

Anyone ever used one of these custom watercooled cases? Not all of them cost as much as this one, but they're all pretty pricey. Is do it yourself better/cheaper?
Absolutely agree with Jester. The stock HSF that came with my Prescott 540J did an adequate job. But now I'm using the Gigabyte model for socket 775 with the 108 mm fan (see the link in my 8/4/2005 post). It does an even better job by 8-10 C. Keeps temps in the 40s and 50s C even when the...
