CPU temps to high
CPU temps to high
Can anyone recomend a good CPU fan. I have a AMD 1.01 GHZ processor. ASUS V133A Board and 266 MB of SDRAM. My cpu temp is reading 52 degrees. Currently I have a thermaltake mini superorb cooling it (that is loud as hell by the way) but I don't think its doing the job. I also used the the thermal paste before installing the fan. I'm thinking I might as well start cooking at my desk with this temperature.

My AMD runs at 50C idle. This is normal for an AMD. If you want a good fan go with a Dragon Orb 3 from Thermaltake. Loud as hell but it should be cheap with all these new fans coming out into the market. You may also want to lower your CPU Core voltage from your Bios.
BTW what monitor is reading your CPU temp? Asus Probe is known to add a few degrees to CPU temp.

I am running a Thermaltake Volcano II on my AMD 1Ghz with one case fan in front drawing cool air in and a second fan at the back of the case blowing warm air out. My CPU Temp is around 41 degrees most of the time.

My
hsf runs about 45 when it's cooler (But the heat wasn't on in the house yet), right now it runs about 47 idle and 57 full load. I do have a PSU blocking (But sucking the air out, dual fan on the psu) the exhaust from the fan (I have a reverse set up on the hsf.) Need better air circulation, some of the hot air in my system is being recycled.

Extremely
I would have to say, you either have very bad air circulation, or you've been sold an oc'ed system.
