U can do something similar to this :

It maxed out the utilization of both the cores and the card ... and probably the closest u can get to actually simulating max load conditions for the overall system ..

Got a new comp a month back, could not overclock my P5B-dlx mobo due to rising temp. My case is frontech royal, 2 front fan, 2 rear fan, 1 side fan.
*www.frontechonline.com/admin/image/cabinets/1556.jpg
I today opened the mobo & saw that the heatsink was not fitted properly (nehru place guys suck) I further saw that the mobo is having 4 mm sponje laid between the case & mobo , I called up the guy who fitted all my comp , he said that the mobo was getting "short' so he used it for insulation, & it wont harm it any way.
But I guess it will not let the heat transfer on the other side plus if for some reason the mobo is "shorting" with case I better get that replaced, its a month old mobo & it should not have such problem.
I fitted 2 front fans & 1 rear fan & one in PSU but even then my temp are quite high. IN BIOS it show that fans are not fitted where as I have atleast 1 fan conected on mobo at Ch_fan2 on P5B-dlx mobo, (2 are connected from the power supply)how do enable that in BIOS?
Where can I get in delhi artic silver 5?
---------------------------------
UPDATED..................PROBLEM SOLVED
I had to remove the sponge which was blocking the heat to transfer the other side, stupid guy who assembled the comp did not mount the mobo using the insulated mounts which would have given a gap of 5mm to let the heat dissapate from the other side.

I use a HCL Beanstalk computer with 3 GHz Intel Pentium 4 HT, 512 MB RAM, TV Tuner Card, I use Windows Media Center Edition 2005. Since past 6-10 months my CPU has been making lots of noice when ever my CPU processes increase. My CPU has got 1 side fan and 1 rear fan. I'm really annoyed with that loud noice, like a large bee is revolving around my head. I'm not able to listen to music even when the volume is set enough. And my games also get stucked! Please help me...

In ur case it seems that the heat fan is dirty with dirt ,just open the cabinet & clean it.
Check if that soles the problem

Well from what you have mentioned, it could be a Dust problem as Ranjan mentioned.Periodical cleaning is a MUST.Also from your config,its pretty clear that you have Prescott based CPU.Like it or not,those things run insanely hot.Indian summers are not forgiving either.Frankly speaking,i don't think there is any perfect solution to it as the Prescott Core is famous for its heat issues.The least you can do is,keep the case clean from inside,use a blower,reduce wire mess[cable management] to facilitate perfect ventilation.And if this doesn't minimize the problem,you can go in for a third part Air Cooler for your CPU.I am afraid,those are the only options u got.

In the zone
clean the dust in ur cabinet.clean all ur fans with a blower or hair dryer(with the heating off)
u will see instant results.
and in case u can't get a blower, just take a cloth and clean the major parts.and take a old paint brush(without paint) or a hair dye brush and use it to clean the dirt in ur fans.also while ur doing this just check evrything is properly connected. also u cud try to take ur ram out and clean it and put it back. i call it the ram refresh i don't know if it does any thing technically but it sure helped me and offcourse do the whole ram thing at ur own risk.

1. i've got an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ venice core cpu. at idling it runs at 48 deg cel but during gamin its temp goes upto 60 deg cel. it isn't even overclocked. my sys has one psu fan, one gfx fan, one fan on processor and 3 chassis fans (total 6 fans) yet the temps are such. i don't think it is normal so wht should i do?
2. my mobo ASUS A8N-VM generally runs between 44-46 deg cel. is it normal. my southbridge isn't covered by heat sink. since a heatsink is difficult to get, can i use instead a 30mm fan? will it make a diff?
3. my gfx card Sapphire Radeon X1600 PRO generally idles at 60 deg cel but during overclocking it goes upto as much as 85 deg cel. is it normal? it is a brand new card and the fan works fine. i've set the fan to work at 90% work cycle. is it alright. can i increase it higher without damaging it?
4. my hitachi deskstar SATA 80Gb 7200rpm hdd idles at about 48deg cel but can go upto around 55 deg cel. is it normal? should i get myself a hdd cooler?
my sys has a PSU fan, a processor fan a gfx fan and 3 chassis fans. my processor AMD Athlon 64 3200+ idles at about 46 deg cel but goes upto 60 deg cel during gaming. is this normal? what can i do to lower the temps? the processor isn't overclocked.
my Sapphire Radeon X1600 PRO gfx card goes upto 85 deg cel during gaming. otherwise it stays at about 60 deg cel. the card is brand new so the fan is working fine yet the temps seem a little high. i've set the fan to work at 90% work cycle. is it alright? can i increase it more without causing any damage?
my mobo ASUS A8N-VM generally runs at 45 deg cel but goes upto 5 deg cel. is it normal? my southbridge isn't covered by a heatsink. since they aren't easily available i was thinking of putting a 30mm fan on it? would it be as effective? how much temp diff will it bring in?
my hitachi deskstar 80gb 7200rpm hdd runs at around 48deg cel but goes upto as much as 57 deg cel during gaming. is it normal or should i get myself a hdd cooler?

Those temperature are really high. Maybe clean up the inside of your cabby, do some cable management and try to have a better airflow. Having lots of fans doesn't means lower temperature.
Remove the hsf from the CPU, clean it, apply some thermal paste (Artic Silver) and reassemble the HSF.
Do these few things and see if temperature falls, if yes then further action could be taken. BTW, which cabby do you have??

I also had an Iball grabit cabby (at present using Zebronics PEACE and soon going to get Coolermaster Stacker)............coming to the point just drill some holes on the top and install a 120mm fan as "blowhole". That heat vent chimney on the top is all fake. See if this help, certain it helped me. I know its a quite roomy chassis, actually my AMD X2 3800+ @ 2.6GHz idled at 38C and had a load temp. of 55C.
But after removing the stock hsf and installing ARCTIC FREEZER64 PRO cpu cooler the temp fell down further to idle of 33C and load of 45-46C.
So no problem with your cabby. Anyways its summer time and temp. do rise a lot. Keep updated.

will have to think a little before i drill holes in my cabby. how much did the arctic feezer64 pro cpu cooler cost u and is it easily available. i went to nehru place to get myself some thermal paste. no one kept branded companies such as arctic silver. i had gone with a budget of rs400 for thermal paste but the only one available was a small packet of some local company thermal paste for a measly rs10/-. since i had no option i bought 2 of them but haven't applied yet. should i apply it or is it better not to apply it?

Bought the freezer64 pro from the US (newegg) its officially not available in India, maybe someone in nehru place would be having it. And as Sam mentioned.............try the paste and see if it helps.
