So what exactly is running 50C? That's too hot for anything, even the CPU for my tastes, that's 122F! If that's the temp inside the case, you need to seriously add some fans sucking in and blowing out the rear. If that's the mobo temp, that's still too hot. Arrange all of your IDE cables so they are "on edge" with the front to rear of the case (thinnest cross section facing air flow). Even better would be to move them completely out of the way. -Clint

But I think the old power supply was running a few degrees cooler. I know in the summer I was running 53 C. I'm afraid when summer gets here I'll be up around 56 C. I'm running an AMD Athlon 1.4 G with two harddrives. The fan quit working on my old PS. This computer is about 3 years old. It is on about 7 hours per day.
