| 424275 | 2006-01-25 23:56:00 | yeah, i have installed an athlon 2600+ in my mobo as a test. the starting temperature was okay, at 45 deg. but then the temperature kept on going up on a linear scale. It had reached 85 deg in less than 3 mins,and shut down (due to the shutdown temperature setting at 85deg) And thats with an AMD CERTIFIED copper based heatsink (rated 3ghz max). the Cpu was running in a relatively case, and the air temperature around was at roughtly 26deg. I am not sure why the athlon Xp 2600+, running at 2.1ghz, manage to overheat so fast. Is it the temperature transmitter in the motherboard's fault? or is it because of a crappy heatsink (which i doubt) or maybe it is because of the lack of cold air running through the heatsink. because the fan speed was around 2800rpm I could have disabled the shutdown temperature, but then i dont want to risk frying my new athlon 2600 so ah, ne tips? thanks all. |

| 424276 | 2006-01-26 00:06:00 | Is it actually getting that hot? Temperature readings from computers are notoriously unreliable . They are computers, not thermometers . ;) The sensors are cheap, and uncalibrated . At above 70 degrees C you won't be able to hold your finger on the hot part for more than about a second . |

| 424277 | 2006-01-26 00:28:00 | Are you sure the heatsink is on properly? You didn't put too much thermal paste on either? | Jen (38) | ||
| 424278 | 2006-01-26 00:52:00 | Does it have a fan on the heatsink? is it moving? Have you mounted the heatsink in the correct orintation?, it has a step in it. |

| 424279 | 2006-01-26 02:50:00 | mine used to sorta do that. cept it was really odd like went up to like 100*C then instantly changed to like 30*C -which was odd | Mirddes (10) | ||
