[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jomama: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Klaus: [qb]Considering the price of the 1600XP is about $20 now I would push the temp as high as 65-70 as long as you don't have any of the issues I mentioned. One word about those triple fan deals - I got one about a year ago for my extra computer - two of the little fans failed in the first few months. Your money might be better spent on more large fans or a new CPU cooler. One good thing is when you eventully upgrade to a 2500 or better - those CPUs run much cooler because of larger surface area on top of the chip. My 2500 runs at 39C - so your case will still be plenty decent (I was going to say get a case with more cooling).[/qb][/QUOTE]Looks like I'll be buying the volcano for step one, and clean out the dust at the same time. Thanks for the heads up on the frontfan, sounds like two failures :shake: Regarding upgrading the chip eventually... Is the "plug" format of the 2500 the same as the 1.6 or will I need a new MB with that chip?? (since you mention its got more surface area, just wondering if that affects the plug-in configuration) None of the issues that you mentioned. It actually seems to run really good. Just the infintesimly slow high-heat level increase since built. I'll bump it up to 61C and see if it continues to rise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
