Message: Subject: Pentium III passive cooling By: Cristi (IP: 83.103.222.*) Written on: 20-05-2006 19:07 I have a Arctic cooling Super silent PRO TC heatsink wich I have mounted on a Pentium III 1GHz CPU without the Fan on a Compaq Deskpro EN system, but the CPU is pasing the 45C temp. my questions are: 1. Is 45-50C much for a Pentium III based on 0.18micron with passive cooling? 2. Wath problems could apear because of the high temperature? If somebody could give me sugestions on how could I cool better the CPU with passive cooling I vould be wery happy. THANKS CRISTI

There is no need to improve cooling, and no reason to worry about damage. bye, Tillmann By: Cristi (IP: 83.103.222.*) Written on: 25-05-2006 21:05 So there is no need to wory, thanks.
