Re: Jaunty Frying my motherboard????
I thought I'd just pop in and tell you of a little experience I had with my friends first Core2Duo..
He got a nice little box picked and we ordered the stuff off of newegg. We got the system all built, with the OEM heatsink.. Windows Vista Home Premium installed and ready to play.
I install "SystemFan" an application for sensor monitoring on windows. He started playing with it and the normal temperatures ran from 35-50C ranging on how hard he pushed it. Well, I watched long enough and said it was time for Orthos. Sure enough that processor hit 70C and I was worried. That's just too hot.
I modified the heatsink that came with the process (retail E4400) and used some artic silver 3 for the thermal grease. After all of that, it ran about 10C cooler and never thought about getting over 60C much.
