ok according to winbond, my freshly installed Athlon XP1800+ is running at 53 celsius during normal web surfing / music playing. That seems way too high to me for safe operation. I'm thinking that using a shim was not a good idea as it might be preventing full pressure contact between core and heatsink. Does anyone have any hints that might help me fix this problem? Here's what I have:
Abit NV7-133R
Athlon XP1800+
Arctic Alumina
Alpha 8045
Enermax adjustable 80mm fan on HSF, turned to max RPM
2 80mm case fans in
1 80mm fan out, plus power supply.
I followed the Arctic Alumina instruction, making sure to not apply too much, and to make it as even as possible. Thanks.
