But I digress, what about these "Barton 2400's"? (And don't even think about offering up information on Mobile processors) :D

thanks all i will have a go later or 2morrow

I used to work for a pc building/sales company as QA manager. We used to have 2/3 pc's a week that had this problem. I worked there for 4 years so that would be about right :) Still its up to iain_herts what he wants to do...

Personaly I dont see any harm in overrating the cooler. After all the cooler you can run the chip the better it will perform...

Oh and iain_herts make sure that if you just hold the case and dont use a strap that you leave the power cable plugged into the psu with the mains off at the plug. That way you will have a good earth and reduce the risk of ESD damage.

The 2400's were a small batch that AMD only delivered to OEM's we had loads of problems with them getting to hot on via chipsets.

Are you sure?

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

the i have is a oem and i have the kit anyway pc tools riststrap so thats not a prop but the cooler is for Application for AMD 3200+ and higher is that ok with a 2400+ i think it would be

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Asus probe on my AMD 2400 indicates

CPU 44
MB 32
Fan 5500

Looks fine to me

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

My machine is really letting me down these days. once upon a time mine would run full load @ 40C while all my friends would run around about 50C idle, it was a good time :D.
A couple of months ago I took off my heatsink to fit a 'better' one. im currently using the stock retail AMD heatsink and have been ever since installing this cpu, when it came to clipping the new HS I found that the clip was broken and as such it wasnt seccure so I decided to reattatch My old HS, only problem was I was all out of thermal compound, I tried my best to smooth out what was left of the compound but clearly there must have been airbubbles as my CPU now Idles at 48C - 49C (dont know full load, only just reinstalled my mobo monitor a few mins ago ;) )

might be best to invest in a fire extinguisher as well :Yikes:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Me too, mines at 47(cpu) and 33(mobo) degs.
In the summer it went up to 65 degs. Gets up to 57 degs when gaming.
(I've got the 2400xp as well (oc'd to 2600))

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

:Yikes: Yes I would agree "IF" you are sure about your mains polarity. I have seen mains boards wired reverse polarity at the suppliers end, ( this would mean a permanant live and a switched neutral at the end of any cable ) not saying this is common but with anything concerning electricty, BE SAFE RATHER THAN SORRY. If you are not sure then don't do it,

Can't see it
Can't hear it
Can't smell it
Can't taste it
( Normaly ) :)
But boy it packs a punch

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Your telling me. Its actually quite annoying though, ive given away 2 retail AMD fans, countless aplications of my thermal compound and one massive HS& Fan wich wieghed a ton and had an 80mm fan attatched to the top, now I could do with any one of those back and wouldnt you know the same friends I helped out by giving these things to dont wanna know when I need a favour :dozey: Typical.

Its not like I want any of the stuff back, Just a little Dab of thermal Compound would do.... Gonna go down my local PC shop tomorrow and use my few remaining pennies to buy some, Im skint now until payday (2 weeks away :yikes: ) saving up for Driving lessons & Riding lessons.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

that temperature is shockinigly low for me... my p4 idles at 65C and under load it does to 75... :erm::erm:

Read arctic silvers own instructions...

You should spread it out over the die, before putting the heatsink on.

I've got a Barton 2500.. with the stock retail HSF, it would idle mid 40's and under load mid 50's.. sometimes over 60 if the missus had the heating turned right up..

I bought a Thermaltake Silent Boost cooler (the Athlon one, theres 2, one for athlons, one for AMd64's). Now I have it overclocked to 3200+ (2.2ghz), and it max's out at 50 under load. Sometimes alot lower depending on house temperature..

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

just bouncing along from my previous thread... ive just dismantled my laptop, cleaned out 5 decades worth of dust from the heatsink/heatpipe thingy and my cpu is now at 37C, and hdd at 38C. ambient room is 20C.

hurrah!

only problem is i dont have a hand warmer anymore :(. oh, and the thermal paste connecting the heatpipe to the processor block has dried and gone crusty... is that a bad thing?
