Hi, I have an asus a7n8x motherboard that had an athlon
xp 2400+. Recently, I bought a new xp 2600 to upgrade.
The micro came with the original heatsink. The problem is
that it was impossible for me to use this new heatsink in
this motherboard (I couldn't clip it in the socket, and I
tried it for a while). Then I decided to use the heatsink
that was installed before. It installed perfectly.
But now I was reading some info that suggests to replace
the protection if you reuse the cooler.
Given that I installed everything and that I wouldn't want
to reinstall all this again, is there a way to know if the
old protection is working by means of looking at the temperature
of the cpu, etc?
I've been using the machine for a couple of hours and everything
worked ok... but should I be worried?
