xp1800 with Volcano 6
I have added Arctic Silver and my case has 4 fans (2 front, 2 rear)
It used to go around mid 40s during the winter time, but now it is going crasy...
Do I need a new heatsink? Any advise? Thanks.

Try reseating the heatsink. There has to be something mechanically wrong if it jumped up that much. Did you apply the AS3 correctly? Hopefully your front fans are intake and your rear fans are exaust.Quote:

If you want, clean off the bottom of the heatsink and the processor core with isopropyl alcohol and reapply the artic silver:)
First i'd clean out the entire system. There could be quite a bit of dust in there if you haven't cleaned it out. Could take off as much as 5C just by cleaning everything.
Yeah, try doing this first before anything I mentioned:)Quote:

Heh, yeah you might be suprised what you find in a dusty ole case. cobwebs, pennies, the odd computer part here and there that you never could find, insects :o
HSF fan failing
Dust in HS
Too much AS3 http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_s...structions.htm
Disconect the two inlets.
Here is something you can do along with the other peoples' suggestions. Try dropping your vcore as low as it can go while still remaining stable. I was able to drop it from 1.75 to 1.55 on my xp2000 and it works well. It also dropped my temps 10 degrees C.
wow good idea primate, I hadn't really thought of that. I guess i'd always thought that defualt voltage was the lowest it would be stable for some reason.
If you have a tbred B 1700+, that puppy will run just fine @ 1.4Vcore. I got my 2100+ @ 1.9Ghz and 1.48Vcore :).
haha thanks, it wasn't my idea though someone else did it and i read the post i tried itQuote:
