info on temps

[steviemo03]

hi every one ...
i have bought a chaintech 7NJS ultra zennith
and iam using amd2200xp, geforce3ti200,128ddr<500 riva tuner> and win xp +512ddr ram. iam very impressed with the performance, mad onion scores of 9000 with the Mboard settings set to aggersive. but the temps are a bit high compaired to my old asus a7v33 board they have jumped from idel of 45/46 to 55/57c, so i bought a Tt volcano9 Hsink and that has not realy made a difference!!!
i sopppose the ambeint temps have roses binning summer and all that but i thought even with the overclocking it would be a bit cooler!!!!!
all the same iam very impressed with the board!!

Make sure you apply the thermal grease correctly, thin thin layer then mount, More often than not crappy thermal compouds or bad applications of said compounds is what cause high temps.


If your OCing the CPU in the bios make sure the Voltage is whinin spec. I was shokced when I used Auto OC on my Asus board and it raised the vcore too.
