Hi,
I bought a CPU/Mobo Combo at Fry's for $75. It's a 2400+ XP TBredB (15x133:2000) with ECS K7VTA3. I bought some OEM PC-3200 DDR today and upped the FSB to 143 (2143) because I don't want to fiddle with the wire trick or other multiplier tweaks or buy a better motherboard.
As for fans I have 3 case fans. One pointing out the back, one drawing air in from the front and one from the front but throwing the air over my hard drives. The heatsink is a CollerMaster dual heat pipe (HC01) but the fan was so loud I put the OEM one from AMD on the sink.
Anyway, it runs solid but my temps according to Motherboard Monitor are at highest 47 C. That's with Winamp, Mozilla and CPU Burn-In (3hours) running right now.
Is that too hot? For some reason I have it in my head that no processor should get over 44C with a max of 45C.
I looked on the internet and found a site that said that the max temps for AMD are between 85-90C? I assume that's worst case scenario.
Thanks,
Adrian
