AMD 1800+ Too Hot, But why?
Im having some problems with my computer, and i'm not sure why...I have a amd 1800+ and when I bought this computer I didn't really know much about computers...I have since gotten into them and noticed a problem. At start up and in detections (eg. sysmark2001, MSI FuzzyLogiC, sysinfo) it said I was running at 1200 mhz..So, if I have a 133mhz FSB and a multiplier of 11.5 we get 1550 or somewhere abouts. Now, thats a lot faster than 1200. So I went into the BIOS and checked it out, and my FSB was clocked at 100mhz. I checked my motherboards manual and it said it defaulted it to 100mhz and you should change it to your chips recommended speed. So I got some app's (SpeedFan, FuzzyLogic) and they say I idle at 54C main...With the side case off as my brother was using the usb ports and was lazy and A long story short it was off. I put it back on and the heat goes up so ok I take it back off.. I put the FSB to 133 from 100 and it locks after running some tests.. I check the BIOS and its hot, I cant remember how hot but it was hot. So I put it back down to 100. I know when I put it up to 110, and I Idle at 59-60, something is wrong, cuz that temp is too high right?!I dunno whats wrong.. It looks like I have 3 fans in there, and It's not extremely hot in this room, and it detects the sys fan at around 5000 rpm..These components are stock btw, and there isnt much dust in there. Help please??
