It seems the cpus are outpacing heatsinks 60c is a very unstable temperature, think about it, you almost have 4 cpus in one chip carrier, except for the interface with the outside world. All this in a package smaller than a P4. The heatsink supplied is most probably made for a single or dual core anyway. Heat is the enemy of electronic reliability. Dave
I've tried to find some recommendations on the CPU-temperature, but I'm not having much luck. The warning levels in the BIOS are 60/70/80. Also, I would have thought the heatsink supplied by AMD for the Phenom would be sufficient for 4 cores - but maybe not. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
