I got my computer together this week. its a AMD Ayja or ayja err dont remember exactly what name code it had... something around that tho.
Anyways, the fan is a fop32 global win heat sink mounted by a sanyo denky fan of 55CFM, pretty good fan/hs combo or so I read in reviews and artic silver II paste.
The mobo is epox 8k7a, ram is crucial DDR 2100
So at normal load with 1.83 default core voltage, i get around 44 C on cpu on normal load! and 49C at gaming load, such as tribes2. Room temperature is around 25-27C cause its summer and no A/C =(
Now I overclocked it at 1.4ghz, not much, 10x 140mhz fsb and the temperature is at 50C after running 3dmark2001 for an hour and 45C normal load
My computer crashed at 10x145 mhz fsb, and it wouldnt get passed bios booting at 10x155mhz. Now I know that I should up the voltage to gain stability, but im afraid to have the CPU overheat.
Now Im sending my epox back to the shop for a new epox, because this one's second DDR slot is bust, so Im getting a second chance in placing the fan on CPU right.
Question #1 - How much termal paste should I put? I put very thin layer, not razor sharp thin, but quite thing, not thick. I put it only on the part with the serial number on it, the core, midle metal thingy. Do i need to put termal paste anywhere else?
Question #2 - I got 2 fans on my case placed on top of each others in the back, they are right next to the CPU, should they blow IN or OUT of the case?
Question #3 - Even if the heat goes up 4C, thus going at 55C in full load, will the BURN-IN process make the temperature lower over time? from the CPU being used to the high speed?
Give me your tips =)
