T-Bird way too HOT !!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

[Mitch]

I have a T-Bird 750 running on an ASUS A7V MoBo with a CoolerMaster AMD approved Heatsink fan (w/ silicon grease)

Iam current at 55C on-line and reach 60 - 65 C when playing games. This is constant if Occ at 1G (100 mhz x 10) or at 750

I have seen that bios version 1002 will help with heating problems. I go to the ASUS download page and only see 1004.X listed for the A7V. There is another bios for MoBo A7V-M that has a bios a7vm1002.zip Is this the correct one? I also can not get the files to download form the ASUS site. Where else could I find this bios?

Please help before it goes up in SMOKE

Make sure there's good contact with the core and HSF. In reality, you probably need a better HSF esp when OC'ing. Good case ventilation doesn't hurt either.

I've got the same gig as you but mine runs to 55 deg max.
I use a fop32 with artic silver.
I think you should reapply your thermal grease and get a better hsf.and make sure you apply it right and there is good contact

Seen ur TB was only 750mhz and not ready to OC, for the default 1.75v.core and temp should be around 45C+ with A7V bios 1.004x. Make sure u check ur HSF contect the cpu core properly with Thermal Grease /Artic Silver which can get in any electrical Shop nearby.

Give me ur e-mail if u agree i will send the bios which i'm using now to u. Any where, no harm for trying. Maybe it could help in ur case also. Just my little help....

I have to go.........for working. Be back when i'm off my duty.

----------------------------
CPU with not OC :
A7V Duron 700 /Bios 1.004c /40C idle /53C full load
A7V T-Bird 1000 /Bios 1.004c /55C idle /68C+ full load

CPU with OC to max speed i get
Duron 700@1000 /Bios 1.002 /31C idle /42C full load
T-Bird 1000@1150 /Bios 1.002 /30C idle /47C full load
