A7V, should i continue to cool the Green Menie? Green Menie raised my system n CPU temp by over 3-5C

Chicharon1 · 04-11-01, 12:22 AM

i got an A7V.i installed a 486 fan over the green meanie. my theory is the fan causes the air to cool the green meanie but the bad side is that even more hot air gets circulated around the system n my CPU n system temp all got a +3 to +5 C.

Do i really need to cool or continue to cool the green meanie?

No u don't have to, but I think it might help u if u want higher FSB speed's.

If you're not overclocking your FSB, don't bother.

You should seriously consider increasing your case ventillation, cooling the North Bridge chip should NOT raise your temps by that much. Maybe 1-2 F, 3-5 C is totally ridiculous. Are you sure that you haven't just been having warmer days lately?

Chicharon1 · 04-12-01, 03:56 AM

well ya.. itz indeed hotter... but i did raise something like 2C on my PC.. especially because the heat is dissipitated... i'll lap my green meaniie sumtime next week....anyone of u using an A7V? how can i raise the FSB by dipswitch? after clicking d dips it doesn't raise my FSB

In ur manual, u can see how to set the dipswithes, to raise the FSB.

Chicharon1 · 04-12-01, 06:35 PM

but after selecting like 110mhz for d dip switch the system still booths at 100x9.5 what gives??? =( is there anything else that i need to unlock?

Whether or not you cool the northbridge, there is going to be heat coming off of it. Cooling it down a little can't hurt. Anything you do to cool down any part of your system is to your advantage.

Alot of those A7V's(like mine) really have trouble getting to a higher FSB.... the best I've done is 106, but it wasn't 100% stable. One thing I did, not really related to FSB, is take a Greenie off my first A7V(the one I killed), trimmed it a bit, and stuck it on my clock generator.... thats the little chip right below the DIP's... careful when you touch it, it can get REALLY hot...
