Using Asus PC Probe v2.12.07, my CPU temperature is 67C/152F and my MB temperature is 36C/96F. This seems way too hot, at least the CPU! I'm pretty scared that I'm gonna melt it. I am overclocking the Duron, it is originally 650 MHz and I'm running it at 900 MHz; also, I upped the voltage to 1.85. My HS/F is a PEP66 - it is blowing out hot air, and the heatsink is very warm to the touch though not unbearable. I used ArcticSilver for my thermal grease. My case fans are 2 80mm Panaflo (the quieter version) I run Win2k, and leave my computer on 24/7. What settings should I underclock? Also, as it is currently setup, the fan is blowing towards the power supply, but there is not much space between the fan and the power supply, so maybe the hot air is staying there? Is it time to reapply the ArcticSilver? Any other suggestions to make? Thanks!
Note: While writing this post I opened up my case and tried to clear some of the dust off the heatsink. Now PC Probe reports my CPU temperature is 59C/138F and my MB temperature is 34C/93F. Still, this is too hot!
