New Athlon XP 2600 system help

Last response: in CPUs
Share

This is my first system build and I have some questions about what is happening with my system. I just got everything installed and powered up ok sofar. I was in the Bios and noticed that the CPU Speed was 1235mhz is this right?? And I looked at the cpu temp and it was at 99.5F that seems high to me but I have never seen this info before. I could sure use the help. Thanks

More about : athlon 2600 system

The cpu speed is set at 1250mhz now....I'm not sure if I should raise this up to a higher level or not. Some of the other things like the Freq. Multiple: 12.5x and the External freq.: 100/33

And when I got this the system was in pieces but the man at the show put the processor on the board for me and I didn't know that he was doing that. I'm not sure that he put any phase change material between the heatsink and the processor...should I remove the fan and heatsink and check?? I just don't want to break anything.
Thanks

I raised the CPU Speed to 2083mhz which should be right according to the docs I found at AMD and should I set the memory speed or just leave it at auto??? And I noticed that the cpu temp jumped up to 46.5C after changing the CPU freq. this is at idle speed I know this processor has a max temp of 85C but should I be a little cooler then what I'm at now??
