Sorry if this question has been posted before, but I'm really worried about the temp of my 900mhz T-Bird. I have the 900Mhz T-Bird on the ABIT KT7 w/ RAID and upon installation, the thermistor within the socket was not bent down, I tried to bend it down so that the thermistor would just barely touch the core of the CPU. Now, i used the "pencil" method to unlock my CPU and success! I had the T-Bird running at 1Ghz. I used VIA's HW monitor to see what the temp was and it was around 52-54c idle!? I powered down and whiched back to 900Mhz, and repowered up. Idle was 49-51c. Is that normal?? I'm sure my 900Mhz T-Bird might go higher than 1Ghz, but the heat is really bothering me. I'm using a CoolerMaster fan that I came with this oem cpu. Any replies are appreciated. Thanks
