Go to www.chillblast.co.uk .. I was having a lot of problems with my Athlon 1.4 overheating until I got a new heatsink.. Even though the one I was using was supposed to be OK up to 1.4 it just didn't cut the mustard!!
Personally I'd go for an Alpha PAL.. Not cheap but it lowered my cpu temperature by about 15 degrees! The other thing to look at is a better case.. Plenty at chillblast as well... cheers, NICK -----Original Message----- From: Kyle Baumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 February 2002 03:40 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: cpu probs > you'd know about it if the fan went. it could be that the thermal strip > between the cpu and heatsink is shagged, so they're not making good thermal > contact. i think that's the problem with mine. When installing HSF's, its always a good idea to scrape off the thermal pad that is on the unit. Then clean it with a little rubbing alcohol, and acquire some good thermal paste, like Arctic Silver 2 (its cheap too). This allows for optimal heat transfer between the heatsink and the cpu as the standard thermal pads perform quite below what most people consider "good". Hope this helps ya a bit. ----------------------------------------------- Kyle "DJ KB" Baumann (( www.mp3.com/djkb )) --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This document should only be read by those persons to whom it is addressed and is not intended to be relied upon by any person without subsequent written confirmation of its contents.
