Wow, My AMD 2400 CPU runs over 60 degrees at almost all times.  The AMD chip
can safely run into 90+ degrees according to their website.

I installed extra case fans and my case temps are usually 30 - 35 degrees
cooler then my CPU temps (both monitored 24/7 by motherboard monitor).

I'd love to run my CPU cooler, but beggers can't be choosers I guess, I just
assumed I had a low end heatsink.

The cpu is frequently overheating, very often at the end of 1 WU and the
start of another.  I have checked the cpu and fan mounting, have the

right

amount of thermal compound etc etc, but it's really frustrating to find

your

system powering itself off every couple of hours.  I also don't want to

fry

the processor or motherboard.

Change your fan.
Even some extremely cheap fans will do the job properly.
I have a XP1700+ overclocked to XP2200+ rating (1800mhz) and it runs

around

45�C under full load (seti).

Even during hot summer days it never goes over 55�C.
The fan is GlacialTech Igloo 2400PRO which was around $10 year ago, and is
one of their lower end fans.

So look into it before your CPU dies.
