XP supports digital sound thingy whatsit. the cd drive reads the sound, and xp passes it along the PCI bus to the soundcard. Still no harm in using a CD Rom audio cable, means your at least compatible with older versions of windows, and other operating systems if ever you fancy a dabble. :)

lol, heat after all of this !

we should have asked you about that earlier tbh, its easy to overlook the things you check without thinking :s

its an easy problem to fix tho :)

depends how you want to do it, I say, if your going to do it you may as well do it right ;)

Is swap that back fan for a 120mil fan instead
the front too if itll fit#
tidy up the wireing for better airflow
new heat sink and fan :)

than you should be sorted :)

Will do - more/better coolage is next on my list. :) The Aero7 seems to be doing the job cranked up high but, as always, you just want more!

Got any recs yourself on CPU coolers? :)

not quite true as modern games are more CPU intensive than some of the older ones

wheres it say that in the thread? :P

A Aero 7+ is more than good enough for a moderately OC XP3000+, never mind one running at stock, just clean it out!!!! lol
