SOLVED 1.4g athlon

[kev]

I have a 1.4g athlon not overclocked, but i purchased a FOP 32,
but it runs hot, very hot, now running at 55°C at load before i stop it.

I need to find a cooler that colls better than this, even removed the pad and polished it, with artic silver, but not running any cooler,
colls down quick when load is removed to about 40°C still hot,

Please help before i melt this thing.

in desperation Kev

FOP's are garbage for Athlons. Get the SK-6 or the Glaciator, they seem to be the bad boys on the cooling scene at the moment.

Glaciator is the best for the money, $40 + shipping.
