Brian Frank 0 Posted April 16, 2001 Okay, Im trying to figure this one out here. Ive got a Global Win FOP 38 and hooked up to the PSU. The thing is my mobo says its got around 41C/113F at idle, and it has hit as high as 123F/51C at high. I am overclocking a Duron 800 to 1016MHz at a 9.5 muliplier and a 107MHz FSB; my ram is already set up to 133MHz in bios so my ram is running at ~140MHz I guess, and my voltage is ~1.7 Volts. I have an Asus A7V bios 1007 and this was doing it with my Thermal Take Chrome Orb and maybe slightly higher with the C Orb. Is the temp sensor whacked, bios reading it wrong, or both? Also, Im using a silicon-based heatsink compound from Radio Shack. I know the blasted stuff worked before. Could having a full tower case have anything to do with this? I have the think decked out with fans, airflow from front to back and a 300W PSU. Whats the deal? Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted April 16, 2001 I might have some hsf compound that might fix this, because its AMD certified. The shop I got it at is trying very hard to stay on top of the certified stuff. Its not Arctic Silver, but I dont think AMD is just giving cetifications away. I'll see how this goes, as I really dont have anything else to loose. Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted April 17, 2001 Yeesssss!!! This stuff works great! Dropped the cpu temp by 10 F! Now I should be in the safe zone with the overclock now! Share this post Link to post
