Hi (first post to this excellent forum)
I've just put together a new computer.
ABIT UL8 Socket 939 ULi M1689 ATX AMD Motherboard
Athlon64 Skt 939 3000+ (Venice) with retail heatsink and fan
512MB RAM
Hiper Type R 480W PSU
Machine performs excelently but when I use AbitEQ to check out the fan speeds and temperatures it reports CPU fan speed of 600-650 rpm then (thankfully) shuts down the system. Going into the BIOS immediately after this the CPU temp is 76c. If I reboot it goes back to tolerable limits (28-34c).
If I run Sandra I get this when the system is idle
The question is - what is the correct temperature and fan speed of the system. I really don't want to shorten the life of my CPU!! Computers - even self-builds are way too expensive to replace every year!! :sad:
Anyone? (Thanks in advance)
