Not sure if I need to be concerned about this but I just received this new PC which I had built by "myjackrabbit.com". It has a AMD 2200+ chip, and an Asus v733 MB. The MB came with some installation software that I installed. One program is called Probe V2.15.08. I opened Probe to see what it was and it is a system monitor. It started beeping telling me that my AMD chip was running too hot. I have been watching this. Since I know nothing about what temp these things are supposed to run, I wasn't sure what kind of problem I have. It is averaging 61 c degrees on idle. When I am gaming it goes up to 65 c degrees. I called the place I bought the PC from and the guy told me that it was fine.
By the way, I noticed in the BIOS that I can run the chip at 1350 MHZ or 1800 MHZ. I scored 2000 more points on a Mad Onion Benchmark with the 1800 MHZ setting so I have kept it there. Shouldn't this chip be able to run at 1800 MHZ with no overheating?
Would appreciate any feedback, thanks!
P.S. The case has two fans running out the back.
