GA 7N400 PRO2 rev 2

At boot up I go into the BIOS and the temp reads 53C. Within a minute it's
up to 60C. Hovers right around 60-61. At that point I go into Win 2000 pro
and MBM 5 reports 52C. I installed the CPU with Artic silver5. It's been
about two months now and I thought that stuff was supposed to get better
with age as it cured? When first built I was running in the high forties.
Seems to be getting hotter, not cooler. Everything runs allright, no
problems there, mabey I shouldn't question?
AMD 3200+ with a Thermaltake silent boost HS/fan.
Thermaltake butterfly PSU (2 fans)
80 MM fan in back
(2) 80 MM fans pulling air in the front
80 MM fan pulling air in side panel

Hello Rudy
Sounds like things are getting on the warm side . Can you give us your
system spec,cpu clock speed -as much info as you can.
Semprons should not go over 60c under load (overclocking)
What's the fan speed? Does it match Thermaltake's spec?
You could could try refitting the heatsink.Clean with alcohol and apply
just a paper-thin layer of paste. Don't overdo it.
Leave the side off and make sure the fans are working.
Blow out the box with compressed air, turn the central heating down,
make sure the box has plenty of space around it.
Good luck.
