Re: I had an idea.
in the red circle ya can see the plastic ducting (made from document foil) that leads from the rear exhaust for the cpu air (my alpha pal6035 is sucking air) to the cpu. the hot air is being exhausted outa the case, so it takes more time for the inside to heat up. i never seen my northbroidge temps rise more than 3 degrees celsius over ambient temp. the ducting managed to sink the cpu temps for about 2 to 3 degrees (not much, but logical since i got an insane aircooling ( when the hsf is dustfree, my thunderbird 1gig@1,2gig doesn't get over 37 degrees celsius ( now the has is rather dirty, i havent cleaned for 'bout 4 months and the alphas like to get rather dirty 'caused ba the small and thight placed fins) my temps may got up to 47 degrees under full load. gonna get me some compressed air to clean it. :P
