68c load inst the worst ive seen for a pentium but its a little too high you might want to try and get some as5 on that chip and add a few more case fans to bring those temps down a bit :D

as5 is a thermal paste man, If I were you I would try and get some from somewhere and put it on your cpu. I am unsure of what the temps in sri lanka are like but its probably pretty hot there. Try and neaten up the cables in your case a little.

You have installed a case fan on the back of your case but you really need another one somewhere as well. Either cut a hole in the side panel (about level with your cpu) or in the front of your case.

Then you can have cool air going into your case from the front or side and the rear fan exhausting the hot air...

68 isn't going to kill your cpu but it isn't optimal for it..

Yeah its pretty hot here in SL , about 30~32c , even that effects

Cut a hole in the side panel?, I think you are talking about an hole, air duct right?
My Mercury casing has an airduct.

Thanx friend ,
The Arctic Cooling Freezer would be a good choice for an inexpensive heatsink to replace your stock cooler. It comes preapplied with a paste that, according to several reviews, provides equivalent performance to Arctic Silver 5 (AS5). That might save you the cost of a tube of AS5 anyways. However, in my own case I stripped of the thermal paste because I wanted to lap the heatsink to make it shiny smooth first. Then I used AS5 to reattach it. Bang for the buck of the AC Freezer is hard to beat.

I looked at the case and agree that improving airflow is also a priority. A single 80mm exhaust isn't really sufficient. If the case has an option for installing an inlet fan at the front I would do that. Also, my Antec case has a side port with the option to install an 80mm there as well (so I did). General rule of thumb is to balance the cfm's (cubic feet per minute) volume of airflow in and out. Most fans publish their cfm's.

68c is nothing to worry about on a Pentium D. I wouldn't waste my time trying to lower it unless you plan to get something out of it, like a higher overclock. Otherwise, just leave it alone.

The Arctic Cooling Freezer like everyone else has been saying.It has good reviews if you have some money to spend than water cool that thing ($200+(usd) if you build your own)
My AMD Athlon 64 x2 4600+ doesn't even run that hot.lol when running linux for the net my CPU fun turns off. I even have it OCed to 2.6ghz..lol
Just think AMD ran hotter than Intel back in the day.

yes buy that cooler and just use the pre-applyed past that comes with it and your cpu temps will drop

I agree the thermal paste it MX-1 and it gives lower temps than AS5

I didn't even see the first HSF the Cooler master. If you buy a HSF pick between the Coolermaster in the first link and the AC freezer. Also if you are in the US go to newegg and check there prices.
