 |
|
I just picked up a SK41G box and stuffed my Athlon XP 2000+ ( I think it's a
Palomino, it ran in an A7V133 prior) in it. After a bunch of BSOD on install
of XP and W2K, I finally pulled the cover off and it works fine. All of the
fans work correctly and the processor temp is running around 50C, according
to the BIOS.
The board is said to support up to a Thorton 2400; does the Thorton run
cooler than the earlier chips? TIA.

I have a 2500+ in mine while running stock cooling was no problems other
than the noise, so water cooled it now, on an older ss40g even a 900 duron
would push the fan into highspeed eventually yet a 1700+ t-bred A fans runs
on lowest setting when set to auto in BIOS. So basically the newer, smaller
die size and lower default voltage of the new cpu is less of a strain on the
system cooling.

The Palomino runs much hotter than the TbredB, Thornton (TbredB core),
and Barton core. It could be the heatsink isn't mounted properly, or
your heatsink compound isn't applied properly. Don't know how that MB
gets the CPU temp, but if it's like most, the thermistor is not real
accurate, so it could be much hotter. |

Eh. I've mounted enough Asslons to say I do it successfully; I mounted the |
cooler and then pulled it to check contact. It was good.
Since the thing was highly unstable on it's own with the fan set on 'auto'
and I was able to get the OS loaded and do basic stuff with the fan set on
"medium" but, I have since started putting it through it's paces (converting
DVD to SVCD is always a good test) It has symptoms of overheating; hasn't
successfully converted a full DVD yet; I suspect I will be visiting my
friendly neighborhood computer shop to pick up a processor. Thanks for your
input.
