Message: Subject: temps way too high By: CBizzle (IP: 24.209.218.*) Written on: 30-05-2005 00:03 I just bought a new fan and some AS5, the fan is a Zalman - Cu Universal HSF... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0183356 and my processor is an AMD 3500+. Im running it on an Abit AV8 Pro, and viewing my Temps through its uGuru EQ. Idle its about 47 C and full load after an hour or so its about 68 C! I don't understand, I thought I bought good parts, but maybe not? Or could it be that my temp reader is inaccurate..... Any suggestions/help/advice/etc. would be nice, and thanks in advance.

If you were using another hsf make sure you removed all the old TIM as per the instructions from the arctic silver website good luck! ph00c's
