Usually problems with instability on this board are caused by insufficient power supplies or memory, but if you feel your chipset is overheating, cool it! You can attach a 40mm fan!

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

When I was trying to pin point the source of my K7S5A lock ups/restarts and I would curious if it was the chipset overheating, I just opened the side of my case and put a 20" box fan blowing directly on it. I felt this was sufficent cooling to keep it from overheating and when it still locked up and had random restarts I eliminated the chipset overheating as a cause. The heatsink was warm to the touch with that much airflow and not hot as before.
