Is there any cherping going on? (pc worning)
I had a heat problem once. turned out the bracket that held the heat sink down was broke on on side. leating the heat sink lift up. to bad i found the problem after the CPU died  :-[

Ghoward:
I have 4 110v fans in my system 2 blow air in at the bottom and 2 blow air out at the top. I run them at half speed using a fan speed control and it cools the system great. My pc is in case and runs as cool as if it was outside the cab.

OK your solution here is NOT more fans. In fact, you should not have more fans blowing IN than you do blowing out. All that does is bring in more air than your system can blow out.

You obviously have a technical problem (not fan). Your CPU should NOT be reaching such high temps. I posted in another thread about the similar problems I was having, and i have an AMD 2400+ just like you...

...It turned out I had the heatsink on wrong. It should have been rotated 180'. Maybe you also have yours on the wrong way too. If it's on the wrong way, only half the chip is getting proper cooling.

So check that. You'll also have to clean off the paste and put on a new thin layer of silver paste before you put the heatsink/fan combo back on.

Next thing, make sure you're not overclocking. I had a terrible time figuring out the proper BIOS config. In the end, it's best to keep it on AUTO and same for your memory. You DO know that your 2400+ should be reading "2000mhz", NOT 2400mhz, right???





Flinkly:
frankly, for the noise issue, you should only have fans blowing in or out, not both.  i suggest out in a  case like this.  do leave proper holes for air to come in, and cover with some nice grill or filter, to keep the crap out.  other than that, you should have fans on your pc board to kick the air away.  also, i wouldn't suggest keeping everything in the case, but thats your call.
