Think yourself lucky, my T'bird 1.4 Ghz runs idle at 58 oC but when playing processor intensive games it reaches 70 oC. V. hot. Don't know if this will damage my CPU, hope not. AMD recon the limit in 95 oC for Athlons over 1 Ghz.
I use a volcano 5 HSF with a system and exhaust fan but...
Using ASUS probe on my A7V266-E mobo, it informs me that my CPU runs at a temp of 58 oC when idle and gets up to 70 oC when running processor intensive games. Is this normal? Could I reduce this any?

yeh sure, there seem to be many people bemoaning the ASUS board, but their all Abit board owners. It seems to me that theres some kind of rivalry between ASUS owners and Abit owners. Do these 2 boards rule the KT266a roost.
Hi all. I have purchased a UDMA 100 IBM deskstar HD. It did not come with a IDE cable. Can I use the old cable off my old UDMA33 hard drive or use a different type?? If i use the old one will it limit the HD performance to only 33. Can i buy a UDMA100 cable??? Er, I'm comfused??:confused:
Wait for the ASUS KT266A. Its early yet and on past mobos the ASUS has ruled the roost. Wait and you won't be dissapointed. Its the one i'm waiting for anyway.
Could anybody who knows a little about the above boards please give some advice on whichwould be the best for a gaming platform. I have a 1.4 Ghz Athlonand 256MB CL2 SDRAM . I am therefore limited to a non DDR board.

Which mobo should I plum for, for a really good gaming platform. I have a 1.4 GHz Athlon with 266 fsb and 256 Mb CL2 SDRAM. Which would be best for overclocking, speed, etc.:confused:
Go for the IBM 60GXP. Its faster and cheaper than the Maxtor. Its slightly less reliable than the maxtor (generally). It comes with a 3 year guarantee, so your likely to upgrade again not long after that anyway.
Hi all. Does windows 98 have a problem with recognising the capacity of large hard disks. ie, I want to purchase a 40 GB hard disk and I'm running windows98. Does windows98 have a capacity barrier at which it no longer recognises the capacity of a hard disk.
I am starting out on build my own dream PC.
I have just purchased a 266 fsb 1.4 Ghz Athlon. The Motherboard I intend to get is the ASUS A7V133. Unfortunately AMD do not recommend this MOBO. Yet i've heard that this is one of the best for socket A athlons. Will this mobo support a 266fsb 1.4...
