Overheating? or other Reason

[Anonymous]

I think most probably is the CPU itself cause problem, the heat.  I build my Athlon TBird 1300MHz, with one seagate 10gb hd, 2-cdrom, SBLive!5.1, Keyspan Firewire card, 350watt PSU, Elsa Gladiac GTS, one fan suck in, two fans suck out.  I use the Asus A7A Mobo.  Everythings is OK after I change cpu fan to 7000rpm,wbk38.  My temp is maintain at 52-58 degree.  Last time i use the K-6, also hang due to the heat.  A good ventilation in casing and high quality high speed fan definitely will help a lot.  I use the WinXP proffesional edition

I have now bought a coolermaster case which has helped a lot, but at a cost! I still need a higher speed chip fan but then i think all will be finally well.

Maybe it has something to do with the abit because I had the same problem with an Abit board.  Same config only thing that was different was I canged MBs  Maybe it is a bad motherboard or abit supplies voltace incorrectly....  who knows.

I had some random crashes with an Abit SE6.  After I bought the Asus CUSL2 I didn\'t have those problems.  Now why that is, I don\'t know.  For the most part the Abit was just fine.  And it could have just been something random.  But since the Asus has run so well, I haven\'t bothered trying the Abit again.  Just my one cent.

I guess I am lucky guys, have an Athlon 1.33 over clocked to 1466 with a volcano II in an antec sx1040 server case with 2 blow and 2 suck fans, it runs around 125 degrees F (overclocked)which is around 50 c, I think, around 109 F at normal speed (around 42-43 c), ...no problems at all, running xp professional, however, I am not quite sure why seti at home will take less than 6 hours while using the pc and about 18 hours when in screen saver - the motherboard is an ASUS A7A266
