| 205235 | 2004-01-05 11:05:00 | >good quality thermal paste used? I found it interesting that AMD recomend a thermal pad and only to use paste if you plan on removing it. |

| 205236 | 2004-01-05 11:12:00 | Another thing, is the bios telling the truth as I need to flash my bios to correct the readings I'm getting. 69 cpu 32 case | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 205237 | 2004-01-05 11:14:00 | Truth be told untill this thread i had no idea AMD were against the use of thermal paste. As for my refernce to quality stuff,I was in the habit of using the sliver gunk from DSE,switching to the better brand brought the temp down by a worthwhile margin. |

| 205238 | 2004-01-05 11:14:00 | Are the infra-red thermometors of any use in the monitoring of CPU temps.? Might be too small a target. | brewer (4389) | ||
| 205239 | 2004-01-05 11:38:00 | Would be interested to know what paste you use now as a guy from the Auckland outfit I deal with recommended the DSE silver paste | mikebartnz (21) | ||

| 205241 | 2004-01-05 12:44:00 | My XP 1800 is running at 44 degrees with winamp, opera and msn open... in tray there is za3, daemon tools, NAV2003. My heatsink is at 31 degrees. Mobo is at 34 and ambient case temp is 36. I :x AMD! |

| 205242 | 2004-01-06 02:11:00 | I would guess that AMD have had dead CPUs returned which have never had any heatsink compund used. Because there is no known treatment for stupidity, the cheapest, easiest way of reducing the costs involved is just to apply a tape at the factory. They will have selected a product which works: it is in their best interests to do that. Even though they know that their CPUs will survive quite high temperatures, and specify acceptable limits, it is a Good Idea to get the temperature as low as reasonably possible. Cooler is better. |

| 205244 | 2004-01-06 06:26:00 | I have a xp2500 and it runs at 38 to 45 and have a thermaltake 3 case which has 7 fans which I run at 1/2 speed and volcano 12 for cpu fan at about 1/2 speed too. Also I think you should look to see what ventilation you have around your case | zoomlens12 (1210) | ||
