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!

Alan
