Vista - How to keep my PC cool..????

Actually i am not a advanced user... just a game freak... thats why i need to know all the thing required to keep up my system performance.....

Also any additional s/w to boost up my sys performance....

you need to give use a full spec of your system including what case you have

Ok, Here's my system configuration .......

My System Configuration
MotherBoard: ASUS M3N78-VM
Processor: AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Graphics Card: NVidia 8800GT
Hard Disk: 500 GB Seagate

Gigabyte CPU cabinet with no extra Fans in it...(Do i need to replace my cabinet...Please recommend)

Do i need to add any other info..???

here is link to the zalman 9700 nt cooler it is the same one iam using my temps have droped

Kühler CPU Zalman CNPS 9700 NT 754/775/939/940/AM2: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Does this cooler supports a Quad-Core processor???... I think not..!!!

well if you go on to the zalman website and have a look at that cooler it does support the old and new amd quad core cpu's
i have the cpu above yours and iam runing one and it has made a big diffrence to my cooling

Thanks.... I just got confused with its compatibility.....
One more thing.... is it good to keep my cabinet open.... i.e without its side lid.... does it make any diff....

Do i need to give any external power supply to this cooler.... also do i need to have a big cabinet or a medium size(my current cabinet) is enough for this cooler...????

Sorry for asking these many question... actually this is the first time i am connecting any cooler... a bit nervous...!!!

keep the side of the case on so air follw will be better

there is no external power need for the cooler just use the 4 wire plug that will conect to your mother board

iam runing a mini asus tower and it fits fine in mine

I'm using the same one, too. If you're not too bothered about it being Nvidia then you can save yourself £10 and just get the 9700. Same cooler, just with a blue fan, no nickel plated fins and no Nvidia logo.
