just a quickie slightly off topic

i got a new cmputer which has an athlon in it. i heard that athlon overheat pretty easy? is this true? also you know the flower cooler for processors from zalman.com are they any good?

Zalman are the best.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

I've got an Athlon, and at first, It got to 80°C in about Half an hour, you need to get some sort of cooling system, as I haven't got much money, cause I'm a student, and too lazy to get a job! I just knicked a load of old fans out of old and knackered PSU's and shoved them in my PC, not the best way to do it but, meah. . . . managed to get the temp down to 40°C which at least stopped my computer crashing! But yes they do overheat easily, especially if you don't have a sufficient cooling system.

thats odd because The XP series get to the optimum temperature after just 5 seconds of being turned on.

Mine gets to approx 40 when in bios, 55 when loading heavily in games

My Processor isn't an XP make, its the old Athlon type, when they first came out, I've got a Athlon 1.2Ghz

Ianwoollam I love your signature pic

I just put mine through some pressure and temp (CPU) is up to 61c. Maybe I need a better cooler?

Yep, beware because my Athlon 1.33Ghz was crashing (auto reboot) everytime i reached the 65°C.
I still have such things with my 2000+ but that's another story as this time i got a good cpu fan and CPU is always under 60°, even after a long GP4 race, so i rather think it comes from my power supply insufficent cooling (some low fan technology)

The older AMD did over heat, the XP ones are fine as long as the fan works.

61c is ok if u read the amd web site u will get the temps, the highest it can run at is 90c then it will shut down.

might runs the same as Ellis's coz he stole my PC
