CPU Temp
Ok I have 2 systems here (mine and my brother's) both identical parts except the CPU HS/fan. I have a Thermaltake Volcano 7 and he has the Volcano 9. My temperture is at 38 C (computer on all day) and...

Thermaltake pulled an "NVIDIA" and decided to give a lower-performing part a higher name (ala GeForce4 MX) with their Volcano 7 and 9 series.From what I've heard from online tech sites, the Volcano 7...

thanks for the advice... not sure i wanna attempt removing and replacing a HSF (like you said its a tough one to put in to begin with). but what is a dangerous temp for the CPU? when should we start...

I would recommend trying to keep the CPU under 60 degrees C. Other people may suggest otherwise but at 60 C, you're getting dangerously close to the point where the CPU can be damaged from heat.Your...

Actually we find the TT products to generally be quite good, although the Volcano 7+ is the exception, it is an extremely oversized heatsink, and is prone to killing CPUs just because of its...

Based on what I have experienced, rather than just read about, the Volcano 7 and Volcano 9 are the exact same heatsink with only a difference in color and the Vol.9's 3 lug clip.At home I have a K7S5A...

You are not anywhere near damaging a cpu because of heat at 60C. If you go to AMD's site and read up, you will see the chips are rated to 90C.I am running an xp1700+ OCed to XP2600+ level with the...

Has anyone every done any tests that show how the temperature measured by the k7s5a sensor is related to the die temperature? Or even how it is related to the temperature of the ceramic? Then we could...

Someone modded a K7S5A about a year ago to read the temp from the internal XP diode. If I could only remember where I saw it...

I found a very interesting article on this subject at www.voidyourwarranty.net/...index.php3It's for a different motherboard, but I guess the principle is the same. Conclusion: the internal diode...
