I have the same setup, but am using the GlobalWin FOP38 CPU FAN/Heatsink combo... mine is running @45C. Aside from the CPU FAN/HS, check that you have enough ventillation in your machine.. I put 2 fans up front to help the side fan blow cool air onto the mobo. Also, I am not running any thermal goo stuff, just the Fan/HS and a well ventillated case. Good luck! -Steven On Monday 13 August 2001 09:46 am, Guy Van Sanden wrote:
Hello
I've been working on this for a long time now (and posted it previousely), but I can't seem to find any answers, other than that I'm not the only one with the problem...
I own an Athlon 1.333 Ghz an I'm running Linux. My CPU is running too warm, 56 °C and up... When I run something CPU-intensive, for a long time (like MP3 ripping), I can see the CPU temperature rise, and at about 60°C, my system automatically reboots :-(
So, I have this really beautiful machine here... but if I really try to use it, it goes down :-(
The frustrating part is that it's working fine with windows (I installed it to check thid problem)... It's running at 47°C idle, and gets to 58°C under highest stress.
Anyone got any clue what's causing this... It's like the CPU is ignoring the HLT instruction when idle...
SuSE Linux 7.2 running kernel 2.4.4 AMD AThlon 1.333 GHZ ThermalTake Volcano II cooler (running 5000 rpm) Extra cooler intake (front-bottom of my case @ 2500 rpm) Asus A7V133 Mb. 256 MB SDRAM
Help, It's making me desperate...
