y?~!???
izit normal???
i really dun tink so....:(
n somemore i using AX478 with ThermalTake Smart Fan 2 running @ 5100++ RPM.... wif AS 3 somemore.......:(

edit: i using TH7II R

Is that temperature stressed or non-stressed?

[casper83]

non...
juz boot up n loaded windows...

Try and see what your temp goes up to when the CPU is stressed. Try Superpi (http://watercool.virtualave.net/download/super_pi.rar) for example

53C when loaded.....:(

Make sure you've got the hsf on correctly...I've had a problem a couple of times where it was on just a little crooked and it wasn't completely making contact with the cpu, and I would get temperatures about like that...I found out when I pulled the hsf off and only half of the grease looked like it had contact...

[Jirnsum]

I agree with marphyre, make sure your hsf is completely connected to the CPU. Also, remember that the ASIII amount used has to be tiny. Only a very very thin layer needs to be applied. If the layer is too thick it will start working as an insulator and only make things worse. Also make sure your HSF is not clogged by dust.

Then again, 53C is not ridiculously high for a P4. Just don't go overclocking it like mad before getting better cooling ;)

Edit: you said you took out the vid pin mod. Does that mean you are using 1.5V again, or are you still at 1.7 (being the max for TH7II wit P4A without the mod)?

FYI, ABI temperatures are higher by about 10°C.

Uhm, what do you mean by that? :confused:

[casper83]

hmmmm..... i onli used 4-5 drops of AS 3 on my AX478 n spread them out evenly....
