Hi danny245 I have pretty much the same setup as you and I found out that the
Athlon XP 2800 is supposed to be at about 53c on stock cooling It also depends on your case fans as well. But cpu temps below 50c is recomended AMD says 85c is the limit but over 50c performance decreases quite a bit. Hopefully this info helps

I do believe you should be able to use your existing fans you have in there now for the fan controller. Im not quite sure about the ? about your rpm of your cpu I dunno if any of this helps but hopefully it does
