My buddy has just built a PC and is having a few issues with it. His specs are:
AMD 2500+
Gigabyte 7N400 Pro2
512 Crucial 2100 DDR
Radeon 9600 Pro
The problem is that when he runs his CPU at half speed, it has a temp of 50* C and when run at full speed it has a temp of 60*C. This is when its idle, no apps running... this temp reported in bios.
Now i have the same CPU with the Asus A7N8X Del mobo and running at full speed its temp is like 40*C and like 45-50* C when in heavy use.
Both of us are using the standard heat sink and fan shipped with the CPU. Anyone out there know why his is running so hot? Please let us know how to fix this. Thanks guys.
