Hello, everyone. My Ahlon 1.333 runs at either 51C/61C (123f/141f) at idle to 53C/63C (127f/145f) at load on an Asus A7M266 board depending on which BIOS I use, 1.04 or 1.05. I plan to try the 1.06 this week to see if that helps. And that is with a SuperOrb cooler. Apparently, the Athlon's are supposed to run OK up to about 90C (194f), but I would hate to see mine run that high. If the new BIOS doesn't help, I have vowed to upgrade the HSF to a Swiftech MCX462 and use the newer Arctic Silver III thermal compound instead of the Arctic Silver II I am currently using.

Many commercial grade boards are rated up to 40C (104F). I just did an experiment, not running SETI@Home and Folding@Home for 24 hours so my CPU was idle for most of the time. It dropped the average temperature 5C (9F).

I just replaced my motherboard/processor. Had a 300mhz Pentium II and swapped it with an AMD Athlon 2000+. I am having trouble in that the system crashes after an hour or so of use. Runs all night if left alone.

I added an extra fan to the case. BIOS reports CPU at 125 degrees F, case at about 95 degrees F. Is this too hot?

Is it possible I should be using a different kernel for Athlon?

125F for the CPU and 95F for the case is a bit too hot. usually, i get 45C (113F) for my Athlon CPU and 30C (86F) for my mobo on idle. i don't use any special kernel. my advice is to either get a better CPU fan (if you used the one AMD gave you, definitely get a better one). or if your case has another slot for a fan, add one of those. xiaolei -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com
