Get a water cooler.

Not as noisey as fans but could be fatal lol ;)

Yup, I was gonna say water cooler, but there is some awesome fans on the market nowadays, that are almost silent, and do as good a job as a water cooler.

Awesome spec though mate. I think its time for 2gb RAM in this computer, as the 1gb, can't keep up sometimes heh. :D

For air cooling, which im guessing your using currently, you havent said what case you have, some cases are dire for intake and outake of air.

Great free program for monitoring the processor temp. I have an AMD 64 3000+ (old!) which runs at 43'c during COD4 sessions but can support up to 75'C so you should be ok on temp. I think Intels run cooler than AMDs but I think they can go up to 99'C

The Q6600 is fine with a decent cooler, I have an Arctic Freezer 87 Pro and core temps never go above 60C even when 3d rendering or encoding video.
