AMD 5600+ x2 - Whats wrong?
My system needed a bit of a boost, so I upgraded (from forum recomendations too!) from an Athlon 64 3800+ to an Athlon x2 5600+...
Anyway, my system is as follows...
AKASA Paxpower 500W PSU
Asus M2N-E board
4x512MB (2GB) DDR2 PC2-4300 Kingston Value
ATi Radeon X1950 Pro (very slightly OC'ed)
DVDRW
DVDROM
2 x SATA 250GB disks (Western Digital)
I have a fan kicking out at the back of the case, apart from that, std. venting.
So, I install this CPU, and after less than 5 minutes, my PC is HOT (I dont mean sexy either :) )
CPU Temp is reporting close to 60 DegC
CPU Fan speed is reporting at 6000RPM!!!
Now this is not right, surely? Are AMD's that bad? My 3800+ OC'ed 5% didn't get anywhere near that fan speed, and only ever really max'ed at 55DegC when pushed hard.
What's going on? This PC is now so loud it ought to be a blade server running a Quad CPU ZEON setup. Infact, that would be quieter!!!
PLEASE HELP!
