Yep.. What kind was it? One of those pink thermal pads? Get some Artic Silver.. the little tubes they come in last years.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

i run my Barton 2800@2.2ghz and under load only produce 46C with the fan at about 3800rpm oO if i turn it to max i get about 43C out of it but it sounds like ive got a TVR sat under the desk :/

the best system ive built was my old Dual PIII 550 running at 32C under load with 10delta 80mm fans and two stock HS fans :D....could only turn them all on to showboat though due to noise polution :/

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

AMD chips are prety much guaranteed to 85-90C so i wouldn't give it a second thought.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Stability becomes an issue when you excede 50C (Depends on the quality of your chip thogh I think, since mines running stable at 50C right now), you also significantly reduce the lifespan of you chip by running it above 50C. Not that big a problem considdering how often people upgrade CPUs but if you (Like I do) want your CPU to last longer than about 1 1/2 years its a good idea to get some decent cooling going in you case.

Also on a side note, I have never known an AMD chip to make it past POST into windows running above 65C (So I think that 85C - 90C thing is a bit of a lie on AMDs part).

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

My Athon XP2400 runs at about 20 degrees idle, and about 35 degrees under full load.

The CPU cooler is an aero7+, m'board is a Abit NF7-S and the case is a Casetek 1018BLM(with two intake fans at the front, and two exhaust fans at the back)

BTW, the aero7+ is runnning no where near full speed, got it set to just over a 1500RPM.

Now your just showing off :cool:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

20 degs?! My house isn't that cool :D
...is it sitting outside in the garden? :D

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

It seems more likeley that his thermal sensor isnt reccording the temperature properly, Im pretty sure its not possible to get temps hes talking about with Air cooling.

Kudos to You if its accurate though Jon T :cool:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Now that is a distinct possibility, when I installed the the m'board, cpu, and heatsing/fan, I had to bend the thermal sensor at the center of the cpu socket, it was sticking straight up and I couldn't get the CPU in the socket, howeever I didn't bend it down completely, and installing the CPU still required a slight downward force as it came into contact with the thermal sensor. So the CPU thermal sensor is touching the bottom of the CPU.

When I was rinning my old m'board, a Abit KR7-133, same CPU but with a Volcano 9 on it, the temperatur was around 26-37 depending on the load on it.

I'm not showing off that much, but I have got an Aerogate 2 fan controller/temperature monitor to install!!
