He is correct, 250W is not enough,
I have problems with lm_sensors: my box runs pretty well (no crashes since
linux install :-), but sensors gives me 128°C (more than boiling water, for
those using Faranheit) as cpu temp and about 60°C inside the box.
Voltages are wrong too.
Any idea?

If your bios has a section called PC Health Status, or something similar, it

Jack,
I looked at your PS specs at that link you gave, and then looked at your
system componets you posted. In my opinion, your PS could definitely be
problematic. Usually, the main problem is the power available on the 3.3v and
5v rails. This PS is pretty low (15A and 26A) with 150watt

Jack,
Just read some stuff on FIC AZ11 groups search. People there are having the
same problems you do. One guy fixed it by installing a little heatsink fan on
the Northbridge heatsink (most KT133 chipsets do have one, factory
installed). I would suggest taking off the case cover, and blowing a

Just ordered a 300W and two cooling fans -- now you're saying 350W? Not
sure that I'm following the justification, unless it's rule of thumb.

Besides the excellent AMd guide that someone has mentioned, you might
also want to check the pcpowerandcooling.com
For me it depends on what the box does. I've got a box that runs 150w
(New VIA EPIA motherboard) and that meats specs for it. For a gammer
350W is the lower end. My main box runs 300w and rarely ever pushes it
hard. (In fact never)

I've got experience with KT133 and KT266A, AMD athlons. I've researched it for
about 2 years, and the consensus is overwhelmingly that what AMD says about
cpu temps is wrong in practical terms. As my own experience (and that of many
others) shows conclusively, anything over 45C. is going

I didn't mean to imply that 60C is normal operating temperature, but
rather the highest observed peak:
SYS Temp: +37.6°C (limit = +80°C, hysteresis = +70°C)
CPU Temp: +40.8°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +55°C)

40.8C. cpu temp is reasonable, but on my KT133 I've found anything over
45-46C. tends to give me random weird problems. I run about 39-41C. average.
If your average cpu temps are running over 45C., I would be suspicious.
Also, even though 37C. seems like it's low for sys temps, I would think
The chassis temp. cannot be lower than air temperature: if you get 23-24
even when outside the air is at 28, you have problems with the sensors!
It's obvious.

Olaf,
Quite correct- the chassis temp can't be lower than the air temps. However, in
my case, I have a duct leading outside air directly to the cpu fan, plus two
80mm case fans blowing outside air in, and I removed the top 5.25 bay
plastic cover to serve as an exhaust hole. Works great. Since
