| 14947 | 2001-07-04 02:10:00 | Regarding Press F1 'Hot Head' item in July's issue. I have had a run of 6 Asus A7S-VM motherboards running AMD 800 Duron with overheating problems, getting up to 55 and higher. We thought this was a cooling problem also, but found it to be a motherboard fault to do with a resistor. They needed replacing. No amount of cooling would keep the temperature down. With a Microstar MS-6378 motherboard, same case etc, same CPU, temp was running at 27 to 30. Alot better. Get the Asus board replaced. | Guest (0) | ||
| 14948 | 2001-07-04 03:12:00 | Hi Cain, Below is a link to also help with tweaking duron & athlon cpus, is a software type hack that changes certain features of the way the chip behaves, they make a comment on page 2 about a 10C drop in temp by doing it, i have seen this artical on a couple of sites so it should be ok to try.... www.athlonoc.com |

| 14949 | 2001-07-04 10:45:00 | HI HOTHEAD.I have also built a PC similar to yours. 1.3 Athlon, Asus A7A266 Motherboard, 512mb ram, Nvidia Geforce2 Ultra Gold. I had concerns also with high temperatures, 62c for the last 3 months ( and ambient temperature is not above 15c)according to AMD: Typically, the maximum operating temperatures for Socket A AMD Athlon? and AMD Duron? desktop processors are 90 degrees Celsius for processors operating up to 1GHz, and 95 degrees Celsius for processors operating above 1GHz. Note: The reported temperature will be affected by the accuracy of the thermal probe, hardware monitor, and analog to digital signal conversion. As a result, some variance should be allowed when comparing the maximum operating temperature to the temperature reported by the system's BIOS. I'll watch for further response with interest. |
