CPU = Athlon XP 1.8GHz
Dear All,
The answer to my previous post was that my CPU was overheating.
After cleaning the fan and heatsink from dust and inspecting the heat compound it was all in order and the fan was spinning normally.
to be on the safe side I inserted a moderate speed case fan... yet still the CPU is overheating
I am running out of ideas.
On my case I have 2 possible mounting places of a case fan, one near the back near the CPU, the other is behined where the power switch is on a normal tower case.
My question.. I have got a very fast case fan, if I mount it near the back I fear it will steal air flow which should be directed at the heatsink (via moderate speed heatsink fan)
Any suggestions ideas?
Cheers!
