Hi dudes,
I just bought a new motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ yesterday and installed it. I put the CPU neatly in the ZIF socket, removed the plastic cover off the bottom of the heatsink / fan, plopped it on the CPU and clipped it down; plugged the fan in to the motherboard ...and you're off right?
Almost: The machine boots fine, but the immediate temperature reported by the BIOS is 65°C, which seems a bit hot! The fan is reported at running at ~3000RPM, and the fan is quite noisy. It sounds like a little tractor doing laps around the CPU...
I'm using a brand new SLI motherboard and a 500W PSU, so I don't think there are any power issues. I haven't installed any other peripherals / drives / anything except the graphics card. Cool and Quite is disabled (default).
Can anyone help? |
