*URGENT CPU overheating*

[Brian R.]

If that's what if took to solve your problem, good idea. Sounds like it is something you had better make sure you do periodically.

You probably should go one step further and remove the heatsink, clean it and the cpu core, and then reassemble them with a minimum of heat-transfer compound. It sounds like you are on the ragged edge as far as heat dissipation goes.

whatever...u Murcs just coddle little miss
Nehal and flame anyone that posts ideas u
dont agree with....this forum has got to be

and you name urself after a tampon?...
whatever...im outta here...there...you got
rid of someone that ideas are different than yours...

nehalmistry,
FYI, I set up a system for a relative over a year ago with the k6-300 (the 66fsb one) and it's been running perfect so you shouldn't have any probs with it, however, I did use a very large heatsink (about 2" high) and take Greebe's advice about applying new white "goop"

KRAP ANOTHER PROBLEM,

your goin to laugh at this, i just realized that the temperature that my windows program was detecting is always 8 degrees C lower than my bios was detecting so instead of being 42 degrees C my CPU Temp is 50 degrees C, i think im gonna have to get a new heatsink or fan or sometin.

Yoshitty,

Is that the best you can come up with?? My name is not picked by me, it was picked by my Grandfather. I have heard it all before, so some 12 year old typing on his keyboard doesn't affect me a bit, junior. I am proud of my name. If it bothers you, then stick in your ass.

urm, how come everybody is coming down on Yosh12 so much?
His first post was actualy quite civilized, though I must agree that when he started bitching about getting a job, he wasn't being very smart.
The rest of his posts are all in response to (somewhat) flames though. It's not necesarry to become so upset so fast is it guys?

Aerobed, yes it is neccesary to flame this guy, he is the most immature person i have found in these forums. He called me lazy, said things that weren't true such as

its obvious that hes not happy with the performance of his comp

he called me neandrathal

And I dont know why I get picked on when others on this forum have said the same thing to Neandrathal when he spoke his mind

this is what he said about rags

and you name urself after a tampon?...

the guy is a total loser, lets just forget about him.

Hey guys ,getting back to the cpu prob.
1 thing running a K6 at 3x100 is not going to produce any more heat than running it at 4.5x66 ,afterall the overall cpu speed is the same.As long as the cpu is stable at 100MHz FSB then its ok
Ref the AFR66 K6-2's which were down rated to 66MHz bus only ,If I remember correctly this was done for timing issue reasons & not for any heat problems.

nehalmistry

If you say that you found a lose fan connection that was probably why your cpu hit 75C! ,BTW as long as it is still running OK now then it should remain OK though you may have shortened its life a bit.
If you removed the heatsink from the cpu ,was there a sticky pad between them? ,if so then reusing it might cause poor contact.Clean it off & replace it with a thin layer of heatsink compound

I guess I won't recruit for my team here Team Anandtech

[nehalmistry]

i think that might be the problem because the heatsink is never HOT but only warm....

where can i get this thermal gooey paste sticky thingy from.... i live in canada.... over here we have a future shop a couple o radio shacks and thats all that is here as far as big electronics/computers stores go.... and how much would it cost CDN..?? i wont bother if its too pricey....

Radio Shack has a cheap brand of thermal paste. Works fine. Not expensive, maybe $3 Canadian for a small tube.

[Wombat]

Actually, running a processor at 3x100 will produce more heat than 4.5x66. You're making the bus interface run 50% faster.

[nehalmistry]

if/when i get this thermal paste... how do i put it on? is it easy to put on? i dont want to take off my old paste to find out i cant put on the new paste
