hey all, first time posting here...
I recently upgrade my system to nice shiny new XP3200+ along with an MSI K7N2-Delta L mobo, and an akasa 824cu HSF
Having applied the artic silver and slapped the bits on the board, my temps idle are about 45-50 degrees and active at 55-65 degrees. System temp is about 35 degs.
Now, ive upgraded from an old P4 1.7 GHz and havent got much of an idea of what temps this meaty athlon should be running at, but i get the feeling its waaay too hot.
What i want to know is 3 things:
1) Are those temps too hot?
2) Is my HSF up to the job?
Link to HSF Info
3) Do you think i should try reapplying the AS and refitting the fan?
I await your respected replies
