    P4 3.6GHz "Prescott" cooling issues

    I've spent two months, many hours and $ trying to optimize cooling of my new P4 3.6GHz system. After buying a 2nd case suggested by Intel, and trying two CPU coolers, the best temperature I've achieved is 57C at idle, on a cool day - wait until summer! If someone knows of a tried and tested...
