Well, I finally got parts to throw two used systems together. The system this post is referring to is a P4 system.
I ordered a brand new 775 mobo from geeks.com and a used P4 3.2Ghz off of eBay. I re-used the optical drive and the HDD from the system and it's also still in the same case and also has the 500W psu I put in it a while back. Anyways, I got it all thrown together last night and turned it on and it was instantly running at 60*C. The max temp for my particular one is 67.7* so I'm a bit worried since the 60* was just in the BIOS...no load or anything. I'm using an intel stock cooler that came with my E8400...and I used A.C. MX-2 on it.
Anyways....what are your thoughts?
Should I just pull it and re-seat? Hate to waste the fresh MX-2 but I gotta get 'er cooled down. I've even had the side cover off just to see if it was an airflow issue but I don't think it is. BTW, the H.S. was very hot to the touch, so I think it's making decent contact. And the fan RPMs are about 900 I believe...but it's new so that's not the issue...
Let me know.
