Happy with my Athlon heat now. Hi! I'm new to this forum but i've seen alot of posts on heat issue. I just want to put in my experience too. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ CPU on ASUS A7V8X-X M/B. I was having heat problem for a long time. I just switched...

PRESSHOT? Think Athlon Heat FX!. I think no one even thought about this one or bothered to point it out. What with all the anti-Prescott talk and how it will be a hot head, I couldn't help but point out that the AthlonFX, AT 2.2GHZ, is churning a hot 89W. P4...

Athlon and heat (again). Hello all, First time poster so excuse me if this has been covered somewhere. I was reviewing the article about the AMD meltdown and the insane tempertures the Athlon CPU achieves when the HSF was removed. I was more curious as...

Possible Athlon Heat reason?. Just thinking.. Since the die is Ceramic which is a rock... form that holds heat a lot right? Maybe thats why its hotter then others Possible? --call it what you wish, with this machine I can make mercury flow in 3...

half of the chips surface showed a 'heat sensitive dye'??? Is this total rubbish?? I need some replies in that I can face down the shop owner for my friend tomorrow. Regards sporaxis. Hi People Quick query. Do Athlon 800 cpu have a heat sensitive...

Athlon heat, again :(. Hi! I having some problems with my AMD Athlon 1100MHz. It keeps crasching from time to time, and I just cant figure out what might be wrong. The CPU temp is about 60C and I talked to alot of people and some say it is to hot and...

high. The XP takes 1.75 volts and they will heat up quickly if you crank the voltage up to 1.85. Secondly, I agree with the other poster, you may not have the best fit of heat sink on the CPU. I always do a "test fit" putting paste on the CPU then sitting...

area. Because of the Pentium 4's heat spreader, the average surface temperature is actually much less than that of the Athlon. Also because of this heat spreader, there is more surface area in contact with a heat sink, and thus more heat can be dissipated...

with Athlon is the heating issues that would be the only thing to tilt me more towards pentium. Take it from me as a "hybrid" user, it's FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt meaning that it holds very little truth in reality)! My Athlon system runs no warmer...

followed)! ~Matisaro~ "The Cash Left In My Pocket,The BEST Benchmark" ~Tbird1.3@1.5~ yes, Athlon heat issue was already known, and they could get 'n' number of toasted athlon chips to show. then why did they take this test??? now Athlon core crushing...
