I'm having stability problem with my system when playing games and I also found that the ICS chip located near the dip switch is way toooo hot. I think my stability problem may be related to the heating up of this small chip. what is/are your suggestion(s)? what is a best h/s for ICS chip and how can I secure one on this small chip?
My system spec:
PIII700e@1008MHz on CUSL2 BIOS 1002 at 1.75v with ALPHA PAL35U, Geforce DDR 32MB(a 27CFM fan attached to the h/s), PC133 64MB CAS3 RAM, Seagate 8.2GB, SBlive Value!; case open at one side, and 2 extra case fans.
The problem is when I play need for speed or any good 3d game, my computer freezes after about 15minutes. I have tried core voltages from 1.75 - 1.85v but had the same problem. However, I can run 3DMark2000 without any problem at the above mentioned speed.
Idle temp. 29-33C CPU and 27-30C mobo. full load. 43C CPU and 32C mobo.
My system at 1035MHz @ 1.8v is also very stable in windows applications but no go for games.
Any suggestion/help is greatly appreciated. thanks
