I just put together a Duron 1.3 system, and noticed that it is running at about 9 degrees below the lowest automated shutoff temp on my motherboard.
Although I have the auto shutoff turned off, this is still almost 25 degrees higher than I had the same CPU on another system. I think I have a smaller heatsink on this, and I believe it is about 5 years old, so maybe not up to snuff.
Anyway, at first I had this 5% overclocked, but it couldn't handle it, and the system shut down. Now I have it set to failsafe defaults, and it runs ok, though hot. This is going to be a system for my grandparents, so I need for it to be quite stable and cool.
Can anyone suggest a heatsink and fan in the $10 range that would do a good job for my socket A platform? Thanks!
