begin [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s quote: | I just completed some computer upgrades this weekend, involving a | move from a Pentium 3 chip to an Athlon 1800XP. I've got a couple | of case fans in there alongside the fans belonging to the various | system components.
when adding case fans (and other fans, such as slot fans, memory fans, and drive bay fans), it's a very good idea to kind of map out the airflow, because misconfigured fans can do more harm than good, and even ribbon cables and cards can disrupt the airflow considerably. | I haven't really dealt much with Athlons in the past, so, I ask | you, beyond what temperature should I be getting worried? | (According to the motherboard's temperature sensors the CPU | temperature seems to stick around the mid 40s to upper 50s [degrees | Celcius] and the case temperature is generally about 5 degrees | lower). ceteris paribus, this seems fine. when are you taking its temp? during anything that is much stressing the chip or just at reboot? there's nothing unique to the athlon in this regard, btw. i do not think it makes like a firecracker at a significantly lower or higher temperature than does an intel product. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
