Upon upgrading my M/B from an ECS K735A (SiS735 Chipset) to an Chaintech Zenith 7NJS (nForce2 Chipset), I kept all the other harware.My CPU is an AMD1700+ and i had a cooler from Spire (all copper base and 6000 rpm cooler). My old system used to run o.k. for about 9 months at temps 42-46c.
When I installed the new M/B and moved my other stuff to it, the cpu temp went up to 62-68c, and windows XP couldn't run with stability, unless I reduced th Vcore from 1,750 to 1,675 from BIOS.
SO i was forced to by a Volcano 9. The temp now is 58-62c.
When i move back the hardware to the old M/B but with the new cooler, the temp drops to 38-43c.
Do you believe that is something wrong with the new M/B?
I use exactly the same hardware, the same box, and the same greese, apart from the M/B.
