Hi All,
I just upgraded with a new motherboard (ECS 75SA) and CPU (Athlon XP 1800+ [not thoroughbred])
The Celeron I had in there was running at around 30*C. The Althon is running at 62*C/125*F. I know they run hot, but is this temperature normal for an Athlon XP 1800+. I'm not overclocking, but I do need to do lots of video rendering which is CPU intensive and may last for days at a time. How much would thermal grease help?
Thanks in advance
