Ok, I just upgraded my case to a Antec P180 and need to see if my current cooling is sufficient. I currently have a AthlonXP 2500 running at 3200 on a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe MB with 2gig of Cosair XMS memory. Heat sink is a generic coolermaster copper heatsink/fan.

It seems my case temp is 32c and CPU is at 52c although I havnt tested under a load.

And cooling recommendations?
 
Hmm...I had a similar setup, and my load temps were only 47C or so with a Thermalright SI-97 w/Panaflo fan@3000RPM. Wait, you talking mobile or regular? The regular uses 1.65V I think which will heat up your chip a little more.
 
I ran Prime95 torture on it last night and it hit over 60c. I'm running a regular Barton and the default voltage is 1.7 on it. Maybe I'm missing something here. I'm relying on the temp sensors on the MB, no additional ones...
