That's what I would suggest. I like these better because you can turn it on and off whenever you want, wheras the LED fans are always on...

thanks guys!
I would check if the cooler is making a proper contact with the CPU. a pentium 2.8 shouldn't be hotter at idle than about 30C (my previous rig was a 2.8 and was idling at 30C with a stock cooler :) )

Considering the price you pay for a Zalman, why not just get a good "high end" cooler like a Thermalright or Vapochill and outfit it with a high flow/low noise fan?
I totally agree with capper. the zalmann is at best just mediocre and nothing justifies the high end price on it.

EDIT: I just noticed that you are running the 2.8 @ 3.5. well this is different then. still northwood should be doing better than that.
