I'm having problems with keeping this chip cool..
Setup:
Pentium D 805
Asus P5WD2 Mobo
2x 1GB Corsair VS DDR2 533
Thermaltake Big Typhoon HSF - applied with Artic Silver 5
Thermaltake Soprano Case with
standard 120mm Exhaust
standard 80mm SideFan
SilverStone 120mm FM 121 Intake Fan
HiperPower 580Watt PSU (non Type-R, has 120mm in bottom and mesh body)
Overclocked to FSB 180mhz - 3.6Ghz.
On Idle hitting 42-45C, on Dual Prime Load hitting 68-70C.
I've double checked the reading with both Asus PC Probe and Speedfan, similar readings. I've checked the Heatsink is secure and tried pushing it down incase of bad contact - no shift in temperature. Manual touching the BigT tells me its not burning hot to the touch, merely warm... 8O
I'm thinking I may move the silverstone fan to on top of the BigT, see if that helps.... :idea:
Any other suggestions ???????? Please ?
