After alot of probs I have pratically bought all new components.
AMD Mobile XP 2500+ AQZFA 0340VPAW (sitting @ 2.2Ghz 57C)
Aero 7 CPU Cooler (currently running @ 2500 RPM)
MSI K7N2 Delta L Motherboard
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro ICEQ OC'd to XT
512 Crucial DDR PC3200 Ram
1 * 160 Gig HD
2 * 120 Gig HD
1 * 80 Gig HD
1 * Yamaha F1 CD Rewriter (52X)
1 * LG DVD Rewriter (8X)
500 Watt PSU
In the BIOS I have set FSB/Mem ratio @ 1:1
What I noticed that if i did 200 * 10 the PC would not boot at all.
Going to 200 * 12 - no probs , had to set the vcore up but system did not like operating!
I knocked it down to 200 * 11.5 (2.3ghz) and with the vcore at 1.75. All running ok. The only problem I have at the moment is that the mobile XP is sitting idle @ 55 - 57C.
Even dropping it down to 200 * 11 (2.2ghz) noticed same temp also.
I think this is way to high as my old XP 2200 used to idle at 43/44C although I never tried to OC it.
I went to PC Werld and got myself the aero 7 which said it is quiet and can handle processors up to 3200 + beyond. Fair deal, paid my 30 quid, installed it and hey, the temp didn't go any lower!
I need to know a few things:-
1) What can the Mobile XP 2500+ running temp be without me being in fear that it will burn out?
2) Is there a case out there for about say 60 quid that has alot of fans in there , if needed, (I am looking for a quiet PC)?
3) If there is a cheaper alternatative is there a quiet CPU cooler out there which all you people know will coll down my processor?
4) I have put quite a bit of heatsink compound on my CPU and heatsink. Some people say that alot is good, others are saying that is where the mistake is as the heat has to dissapate through the compound before getting to the copper on the heatsink. Have I done wrong here?
Any help appreciated here.
attached is what CPUID and PCalert are showing
Thanks in advance
