I'm running a 1400DX at 1400mhz, so the bios thinks its a > 1600DX, and I've got vcore set down to 1.65 volts which helps a bit. Do you use anything besides a fan to keep your processors cool? I've no experience with athlons on UP machines, but amd76x_pm does a good job on MPs. I'm not joking: lmsensors sometimes reports 38C on low load. > > Actually, the athlons seem to have a builtin shutdown at 75C, I've hit > that once or 3 times when the air under the desk was trapped worse > than usual. Makes for downright ugly reboots... Seems like athlon 2000+ MPs are more robust. Playing cube rises temperature to 78C without any problems.
