Hi all, first post!
I don't know much about cpu bios settings for cpu's, so I'm quite lost. Trying to improve a very old box with some cheap parts, but the CPU is overheating, generally between 50 and 75 degrees celcius. (15 degree ambient temp). I'm not aiming to overclock this machine at all.
The board is a ECS c51gm-M V1.0 .
I bought a AMD Athlon X2 64 5000+ for $20 off ebay.
In BIOS I set NPT Fid Conrol to 13 x 200. I haven't changed any other settings. The BIOS is reporting the following:
Some things I should mention:
So, I'm pretty lost, was hoping to get an OS installed on this machine today but this is a real snag. Thanks in advance for reading and for your advice.

In BIOS I set NPT Fid Conrol to 13 x 200. I haven't changed any other settings. The BIOS is reporting the following:
■ CPU Vcore is listed as 1.34v
■ VDIMM is 1.82V
■ CPU Freq is 200
■ System temp is 32 degrees celcius
■ cpu temp reported fluctuates between 50 and 75 deg c, while just displaying the "PC Health Status" page in BIOS
Some things I should mention:
■ The Case, Fan, and Heatsink are immaculate. No dust.
■ Stock Heatsink & Fan
■ It is a second hand CPU
■ I cleaned the old thermal paste off the heatsink and cpu thoroughly.
■ I applied new thermal paste when I installed the CPU.
■ I've never installed a cpu on a mobo before (ok.. maybe one time before)
■ I haven't installed an OS yet, so haven't gone past BIOS
■ ambient temp is maybe 15 degrees c
So, I'm pretty lost, was hoping to get an OS installed on this machine today but this is a real snag. Thanks in advance for reading and for your advice.
