Socket A 4ever

get a better PSU =)

60C temp? is that too hot? I thought AMD's were capable of handling far more than that?

I think 78 is kill temp, could be wrong..
 
I thought that AMD XPs didn't have a fail temperature, they just got hot until they melted. But anyway, that's a wicked overclock you've got going there.
 
I've looked at your CPU Cooler wich brand is it?
Looks like pure Copper!
I've got an Copper Ceasar from some where i can't remember, but it's cooling my mobile 2800+ very well.
 
hm kill temp is 120 and more then 60 is okay my old 2800+ at artic cooling silencer tc was keeping my cpu at 64

Its a AeroCool hercules. Its solid copper, but only has one retention clip for the heatsink :eek:
And it cools moderately well. Im 43 right now at 2.4 GHz 1.7 vcore, with a lot of crap open and listening to music. I also sanded down the bottom, didnt seem to help though.

I might get a volcano 12, just due to the fact that the 1 clip makes me nervous. Ill get new pics soon.
And im going to update in the mobile athlon xp 2600 thread due to that being the CPU im using.

Those heatplates are just so people cant see what kind of ram they use without voiding the warranty :p

I just want to get some air flowing past them, and MAYBE individual heatsinks for each tsop chip, but that could get expensive, quickly. So probably not.

ramspreaders dot do much-- but theya re good for marketing, and help protect them a bit too.

most ram doesnt need much, if any cooling, unless your running form BH/CH stuff running 3.4v+ then I would reccomend some good airflow over them.

Cooling ram like a CPU wont help, because they are giant capacitors anyways.. too hot though will always cause problems.
