1.4ghz at 52 idle??

with any processor always invest in a good quality fan..

Tom did a reivew on CPU fans a few weeks back,, go look.

Also get some good thermal Gel/ Compound


--call it what you wish, with this machine I can make mercury flow in 3 directions at once--

if you don't plan on overclocking and your temps at full load doesnt go over 58 celcius...your fine.

Maybe your HSF isnt seated properly.

:smile: Too damn hot in that kitchen!

what did you use to check the temps btw???

I WoNdEr HoW, I WoNdEr WhY, I WoNdEr WhErE ThEy ArE, ThE AMD... We OvErCloCked ToGeThEr, Oh YeAh...

I checked the temp with the asus probe.

you have a considerable mobo temp there...

all ive got are two piddly low speed casefanse (back & front) and my mobo temp never gets higher than 30.
all your fans working correcty?
nothing obstructing the airflow?

and what was your mobo temp beforehand? has that risen by a similar amount too?

"i love the smell of Overclocking in the morning!" Says my Hamster.

I'm running a 1.4 as well (not overclocked). I recommend using some Arctic II as it works pretty damn good. I'm running a Global Win WBK38 (loud but I got used to it). At full load mine doesn't go past 47C and my motherboard doesn't go over 27.5. To increase some airflow, get some rolled up IDE cables or if not, wrap your existing Flat cable and put some electric tape around them. I did that, they work fine. Get Good Air Flow! can't stress that enough.
