I just installed an XP2600+ on a GA7VM400M mobo running Win98SE. I messed
with the BIOS settings, basically letting it autodetect most of the
settings. It properly detected the 333 DDR, the XP2600+ CPU, etc , but as
soon as it starts up I get a warning from the EasyTune SW (and a commercial
tool that also checks temperature and fan speeds). Granted, I used the tape
that came with the CPU, may have to use my thermal paste instead, but I also
wonder if the voltage is set correctly for the CPU. I can't find what the
settings should be on the AMD website. The monitoring SW reads vcore 1.658V
and DDR V 1.280 .
I have the case open, all kinds of fans, etc. I was running a SOYO Dragon+
mobo with Athlon XP1600+ in an Antec case (350 Watt P/S). I have the
smartP/S connected to the mobo and the CPU fan also connected to the mobo.
1 Sony CD R/RW
1 floppy
1 Maxtor 120 Gb drive (7200 RPM)
That is ALL I have running at the moment. I was getting a voltage warning
on the other monitoring SW (non-Gigabyte) that the -12 voltage was running
on the low side (+12 was fine). I have never seen that before. I don't
know if it is because the SW was set up for the Soyo board or what.
Any thoughts? 74C is WAY too hot, I would think.
Thanks.
