If you do that properly before attaching the heatsink it should lower the temps a bit... Not all 1.8's are Northwoods. You can tell the difference by looking at what is written on top of the core. If it says 1.8A, then it's a Northwood. If it's just 1.8, then it's a Willamette, which don't overclock nearly so well as the Northwoods.	MadMax (2267)
92408	2002-10-24 22:42:00	Okay .. I've actually posted this in another forum long time ago .. it is regarding to Volcano7+ HSF ... there are 4 white plastic tags that hold the black cpu holder down to the motherboard .. when u fit the volcano7+ u need to make sure that it is not sitting on one of the corners of those white tags. I'm suspecting the HSF and the CPU is not contacted properly .. I noticed this bcoz after I installed my volcano7+ the temp actually gone higer than the stock HSF.. so I start to investigate and found out the problem... anyway .. i took the HSF off and took those plastic white tags off and use a cutter to cut off the head of those tags .. and reinsert and wha la ! You probably don't need to cut the tag's head off... but you should make sure both CPU & HSF is closely contacted with thermal paste in between Cheers	mashimaro (2168)
92409	2002-10-24 22:46:00	Oh cheers for that... can't remember seeing a 1.8A on the CPU... maybe that's why? Also, the heatsink and CPU are connected properly... the guys at C-Tech reckon there's nothing wrong with the temperature... that it's more a case of the sensor on the board connected differently... the reckon the measurement can be subjective dependent on where the sensor is and whether it is physically touching, etc... Do you guys buy that? Lo.	Lohsing (219)
92410	2002-10-24 22:52:00	Yeah, the sensors on motherboards aren't always correct. What type of motherboard are you using?	MadMax (2267)
92411	2002-10-24 22:53:00	Asus P4S533 ... use the Asus PC Probe utility to record temps... is there something else out there I should be using?	Lohsing (219)
