    For a friend of mine he got a custom build P4 3.20ghz, anyway I was going to fix it up for him so he could either use it or give it away. The main issue with it right now is cooling and noise. I just added some heatsink and that helped but I think I need to undervolt it if I can or something else to get it run smooth.

    I tried to undervolot it with RMclock but it doesn't show any multipliers. I'm going to go to the computer store tommorow and try to get a better cooling fan. I just put in a better case with good airflow and plenty of fans.

    Also can somebody tell me why diode 1 is much hotter. Whenever it hits 70 it sounds like a airplane. If I can get it to stay between 50 - 68 max that would be great.
