Hey.. Got a bit of a problem here.
I purchased a used Opteron 165 some time ago, and it seems to work fine. But as soon as I overclock and do some heavy load (currently transcoding a dvd), it jumps beyond 80* C (176* F), and I've just installed the new Scythe Mine cooler. The "paradox" is that the head pipes are nowhere near hot. I can touch them without getting burned..
The one I got the cpu from said that he had removed the heat spreader. He then re-attached it before sending it.
Any ideas?
