Amd Duron 850mhz Question

[Neo81]

Hey

I got a problem with a AMD Duron 850mhz, I was just wanting to know how hot are they spossed to run, The one i have got here reaches temps of 60+ degrees cellcius and once it gets to this heat range it starts hangin and stoopid stuff like that, I havn't worked with these b4 thats why i'm asking, any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Very! warm for a Duron 850!!!!!!!!!!
I will have a guess and say you probably fitted your heatsink the wrong way around? (recess over the ZIF socket lettering)
Or you some how forgot to put thermal paste between the processor and the heatsink? or tried to use the thermal pad twice?
Maybe your fan isn't spinning/ or seizing? usually over 4,000rpm.
Duron 850's idle low 30's C, and MAX around 40C, they usually don't require extra case fans, unless you live in a very warm climate?
Take the heatsink off, remove all traces of the old pad/or thermal paste, re-apply quality paste to the contact area, only the thinest of smears is necessary, re-attach recess over ZIF socket lettering. Martin Vote if you found this post helpful please!!

I just finished putting together an AMD ATHLON XP 1600+ with a Hi-Performance fan,,, ( read LOUD) that spins at about 7000 RPM and this CPU runs at 98.5% F.
That is after running a 3DMark2000 benchmark,,,,,
I used 2 case fans,,,,,,,, and this LARGE / FAST fan,,,,,,,

So, 60% C ...... is........ 140% F.
That is certainly pushing the limit; the max I like to see a CPU at is 125 F.

NEW FAN,,,,,,,,, will cure this problem. Just buy OVERKILL for your system, something that is rated at an ATHLON 1.2 GHz....

If the suggestions the others have made don't work look carefully at the CPU for any chipping - usually caused when fitting the heatsink. This damage causes serious overheating.

Hey people


Thanks for your sugestions, In the end I pulled the heat sink off and cleaned up all the thermo paste and re-applied new paste which dropped the temp by 1 or 2 degrees C then I added another fan to the case which dropped the temp another 8 or so degrees C but it is still running about 51 degrees C so the client is testing the machine at home to see whether it is still playing up, if this still fails then I will be adding a athalon 1.2 ghz fan.....
