Hi Tom,
My case currenly has no sides on it at all, front or back, there is a power supply fan directing air directly onto the CPU via a pcv pipe, and the Fan is a GlobalWin AMD approved 7000 rpm fan. I used thermal grease on the top, and under, (on the thermister) to give more accurate readings.. The temp reading I got was from the BIOS, that box is running 7.2 which doesn't have lm sensors... I have the bios set to shut down the box if the temp goes over 70 degrees at the thermister. and so far that hasnt' happened. problem is that the system is in a roon that can get to 45 or more degree's in mid summer, (which is a month or two away.) So I may have to resort to air con or possibly underclocking if it proves an issue.. I have also just downloaded the AMD cooling pdf from their site for a read.. it may not matter, if the price is good, I may have an AMD AthlonXP 1800+ by this time next week, which apparently run cooler.. and my MB supports them as well. has anyone gotten lm sensors working on 7.2? do I have to recompile the kernel for it? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom Brinkman Sent: Friday, 2 November 2001 11:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Pentium IV On Friday 02 November 2001 08:34 am, Franki wrote: > Thats strange, I have a Athlon 1.4 and a huge 7500rpm fan on a > massive heatsink, > > the spring was incrediably tight... but a small pair of pointy nose > pliars did the job > nice and quickly. I use an $8 Coolermaster (AMD apprv'd hs/fan) on my 1.4 overclocked to 1.55ghz with 1.82 Vcore. A thin film of cheap Radio Shack thermal grease on the cpu's die. I used a screwwdriver to compress the clip and slip it onto the HS.

Max temp under extreme load is all that you need to be concerned with. Running cpuburn's 'burnK7' ( http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/ ) you should NOT go over 55°C. If you do, abort 'burnK7', and improve your case cooling. In my experience, proper case cooling is more important than a big heavy expensive hs/fan. > > anyone know what the temp range is for a 1.4gig? is 75 degress bad? > in winter it had a temp of 35. AMD says the cpu will burn up at 90°C internal core temp. Since the thermister is an external probe, AMD says "to add 10 to 20°C to the probe temp to approximate the internal core temp". So if lm_sensors spits out 70°C, you're probly fixin to fry your Tbird. 'Course you'll probly experience random lockups or reboots before you get to 70°C ;) Mine never goes over 52°C runnin 'burnK7' at 1.55g. Under normal load it runs mid 40's. Case temps are always upper 70's °F (~25°C, about room temp). All these temps are about the same if I run the Tbird at the default 1.4g and 1.75 Vcore. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA chmod +x /bin/Laden.al-Qaeda.Taliban
