Temp Question

[FrankMasterFlash]

Is 60*C (140*F) too hot for a PII 400@533 under full load? Not a high quality HSF just some $10 generic one.

I know that amd runs hotter than intel and that would be dam hot for my tbird you better get a new heatsink

[Napalm]

Yes, thats far too hot for an Intel chip, im surprised it runs at that temp

If was any Intel except a PII 400 it probably wouldn't be running. They are a hot SOB anyway, but a new heatsink/fan is called for here.

Thanks, I did lower the temp 8-12*F.
I cleaned off the thermal paste then cleaned the core with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. I Let it dry then reapplied the paste and the temps dropped.
