Overheating AMD
« on: October 08, 2002, 11:35:41 AM »
I have a problem with a to hot CPU and would like to replace the existing one with a new CPU/heatsink/fan.

Any recommendations for ASUS a7m266?


Thanks

Bah, forget the alphas they will make you deaph.

Invest $100 to a watercooling setup or $400 to a vapor-phase and you'll never suffer of noise again. Oh, and your cpu temp will range from +30C to -30C on latter.

What, I can't hear you?  I'm deaf, maybee that's why it doesn't bother me...  Plus if you do the voltage mod you can slow it down and still be fairly effective.  Water cooling is potato peeling overkill unless your OCing. even then your bennies are questionable.  I use one fan on another box can hear it and I maintain a 35C temp under load.

What mod is this?

My cpu is min of 61° C, average of 66° C, and the machine crashes when it hits 70° C.

It is crashing about 3-4 times a day now.

Of course its my office machine and the damn thing needs to catch on fire before they will let me can replace it.

AIUI you switch the 12+ lead to the 5+ lead.
less voltage+slower fan speed=less noise
also
slows CFM down a little.

Is it the stockfan/heatsink?  or some generic cooler?  If it's a generic cooler than you may wanna buy a decent cooler.  I'm willing to bet all you need is some Heatgoop and a betta CPU and case fan.

SK6 and 3600 rpm fan cooled my AMD cpu way down, the temps your seeing u would be well advised not to use anything graphic and number crunching intensive, use the artic silver heat sink compound it's well worth the $ 8.00 to save a $100+ cpu.

HS/Fan recommendation for AMD
« Reply #8 on: October 08, 2002, 04:05:15 PM »
I have an XP 2000+ CPU here clocked at a sippin 1.675 MHz and averaging only about 48 to 52 degrees celsius thanks to my beautiful ThermalTake Volcano 9 Coolmod heatsink/fan. I do have 3 other blue LED fans by ANtec that keeps my system cool in an aspire turboserver case with side windows.

Sure, it may be loud enough to drown the modem noise, but then again, I'm deaf. ;) Although, to tell you the truth I wouldn't mind having a passive watercooling for my system, but if I weren't that scared to put water near my mobo, I would do it in an instant.

Just an recommendation: go for thermaltake - try HC0001 - with the heat pipes on the side of the heatsink - be forewarned, I've heard reports that it barely fits almost all motherboards for it because of the large spherical thing (transistors, I think).

the heatsink/fan with the pipes sticking out is by Coolermaster, not Thermaltake. my bad. (wanted it but couldn't find it at a store - the volcano 9 was my alternative choice tho)

Dayum!!!
Last time my temps were that high it was because the heatsink wasn't properly mounted on the chip, and the chip fried cause of it.  Think I even posted on it here back when it happened, march-april timeframe.

Build something like this and your temperatures will be looking like these.

Staga, I recognize that case.  Isn't it an Entec or Enlight?  The name escapes me right now.  I used to use those cases when I built machines for people.

You could spend a heap of cash and Many hours of time building a Thermite Sooper Kewl liqui-filled nitrogen charged frost making freezing system (tm)for your components........or... just put your stuff in one of these:

 and laugh all the way to the bank. ;)

 My system runs at a CONSTANT 42 deg. AH , WWIIOL, WB's for hours on end ...makes no difference, never changes.

 Tbird 1.4
 Epox 8k7a Mobo
 512 megs
 GF 4 TI4600

oh  and BTW this costs 45 bucks with a 350 Watt PS , or something like 35 bucks without at New Egg.
