So just decided to try to get a second PC going with a few old parts (I'm looking for PC2400 or higher DDR btw).
I have a Thermaltake CU (copper core with alum. fins) on my socket A Duron 850 @ ~1100mhz. I recently installed an old Akasa aluminum 60mm to 80mm fan adapter on it so I could get more air flow with less noise. It worked well enough to drop cpu temps about 4 degrees F. I was idling around 104* last night and decided the system was stable and I could put the case back on its feet (it was on its side with the cpu facing up until now) because I didn't need to tinker anymore. Well seconds after putting the case back on its feet I noticed the CPU temps climbing! Right up to 111 degrees with no other change! This was repeated.
So I'm assuming the weight of the fan and distance away from the core is pulling the HSF away from the CPU...GREAT.
Any ideas? Have others found this?
