Hi there,

My athlon 1400 MHz temp is very high 60 - 70 Celsius
Is this normal????
Have a Asus A7V600 motherboard with 512 DDR 266 MHz memory.
The proc. is 133 MHz.
Use Win$ XP
What to do?

Thanks GJ Eldering

Some people start getting errors when their Athlons start approaching 70C.
What program are you using to monitor those temps? Perhaps try another one
to see if the temp reading is correct.
Or, when you think it is at it hottest, shut down and go into the BIOS and
see what the temps say in there.
If it has just started getting that hot, then I would clean the dust,etc
out of the cpu heatsink and make sure the cpu fan is clean and turning at
high speed.Also check the vent holes in your case, etc.
If you feel comfortable doing it, remove the cpu heatsink, clean it and
its contact surface on the cpu with alcohol or similar, use a tiny amt of
heatsink compound (RadioShack stuff is cheap and just fine) and reinstall.
What is your motherboard temp?


I did dad all !
Thanks for your answer
GJ

I bought one about 3 years ago and it ran with the same temps. Passed it
down to one of the kids a couple of years ago and stopped worrying about it.
It's still purring a long today at 62 - 68. Don't worry be happy!

Actually, the the most simple way to toubleshoot this is to take the left
case cover off (the cover nearest to the CPU heat sink fan) and monitor the
temperature with the cover off. If the temperatures go down excessively then
you have an internal air circulation problem. If the temperatures stay where
they are I would try and reseat the fan and heatsink and ensure there is
sufficient heat sink compound applied.
