Hello all,
As mentioned in the thread about my glorious cooling problems: I seem to be in a posession of a CPU that dies when it reaches 53-55C. Is it time to buy myself a new CPU, should I just get a better cooler, or should I change both while I'm at it? Any suggestions on a brand/type for the cooler?
Regards,
Pieter
/snip/ Before spending a whole lot of money, see if you can't get some thermal grease, from Thermaloy or someone like them. Take off the heatsink, coat it with a LIGHT layer of thermal grease, and reinstall it on the CPU. Make sure ir fits down tight to the CPU, and is not cockeyed. Try the system again. --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.10.4 - Release Date: 4/27/2005
