Hello all,
Well the system has been working pretty good but sometimes I'm notice it being sluggish with Photoshop and when I'm rendering so I notice the cpu temp going up to 68 when I'm rendering so I figure I would buy a better heat sink so I was thinking on getting a ZALMAN CNPS7700-CU 120mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan it's seems pretty good so I was wondering what you all think or do you have a better one that will work with my system. Thank's again all for the help.

The better heatsink won't really help you unless your processor is doing thermal throttling. If the processor gets too hot, it will slow itself to 50% to cool itself off. I doubt it's happening on your system... although a 10% overclock might push it in the thermal throttling range.

I think Pentiums will do it at 75C for Prescott processors.

2- Photoshop sluggishness- typically this is due to not enough RAM / pagefile usage. TO check, hit
crtl alt del
click on performance tab
look at PF usage meter
Close Photoshop and look at the difference. If it drops significantly, you probably have high pagefile usage.

Pagefile is Windows using your hard drive as RAM. Your hard drive is many times slower than RAM (something like 60 times), which would explain big performance drops. Fix it by adding more RAM or lowering the amount of RAM your system uses.
