I asked AMD about my processor which seems to easily reach temperatures as high as 130 degrees ferinheit (54 degrees celcius). What did they have to say?
"Thank you for contacting AMD.
The temperature range for the cache enhanced Athlon is 0 to 90c or 194f"
That's complete BS. My Thunderbird overheats (basically locks-up or computer restarts itself) by the time it gets to 140 degrees ferinheit (60 degrees celcius). I'm using an AMD-approved fan too (Thermaltake Chrome Orb DU0462). I used to use a CoolerMaster DP5-6H51. Especially after playing a game such as Rogue Spear or HalfLife for an hour or so, my computer's temperatures soar to the 130 (54) range.
Now, AMD refuses to reply to my E-mail after their response. They're probably not going to replace my chip either, even though I still have a good 10-11 months left on the warranty (decided to not pay the extra cash for the 2 more years warranty).
