I have an Athlon XP 2500+. I was tired of noise issues so I bought an Antec Sonata quiet case, which has 1 80mm fan, and a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF, which runs quiet but only at 2500 RPM. Both are only a few months old. Now, it's been getting to about 80°F in my house in the heat. But, the computer temps are worrying me with a 56°C case temperate and about 65°C CPU temperature at idle, and under heavy load the CPU temperature passes 70°C. I began to really notice a problem because the other day, while playing a game, the computer was rebooting, something it has never done before. But, I am not sure if the reboots were heat or power related, because I just put the computer on a battery backup and it has not rebooted since, despite temperatures getting about 70°C. I think it might have been power surges, as there was a power outage a couple days ago and the reboots started after that.
I am thinking that something may be wrong with my HSF, because every review I read on it showed temperatures staying below 60°C. Does anyone else have this particular HSF, and if so, what kind of temperatures are you seeing with it?
