Next LUG meet: 9 Nov 2003 around 4 pm - VJTI -------------------------------------------- > I am having AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with ASUS A7V8X Mothorboard. > I have an enclosed PC cabinate to prevent my PC from dust. > The cabinate opens only from front when I want to use it. > I do face a heating problem. The temperature easily rises to 60+ oC
The problem is the heat-sink compound that comes pre-stuck on the heat-sink. Replace it with a decent country-made one... it works wonders. Also, most kernels have the capability of throttling power to idle units. If you think your kernel doesn't have the functionality, you must recompile it. I run an overclocked AMD Athlon 2400 XP with the same ASUS mainboard. The temperatures do not exceed 47C Regards, Amol Hatwar -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
