New CPU overheating problems. Help!
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: byrdwerks
I just installed an Athlon AMD XP3000+ CPU on a MSI KM4M-V Motherboard. I used an Ultra Copper base fan for AMD XP300+ processors. Everything went well until I checked the PC Health on the BIOS. It was heating up to 85C! I removed the heatsink and fan and made sure that thermal gel was on the chip and it was seated correctly, then remounted the heatsink/fan. I'm still getting scorching temperatures. Do I have a setting wrong?
I ordered these from tiger direct as a package so I know that they are compatable. I've never had any trouble Tiger Direct before.
Any suggestions?

did you use arctic silver 5, or ceramique, and apply it according to the directions on their website? they do update the instructions periodically as new cores come out.

Did you reconnect all of the other system fans?

did you plug the cpu fan into the motherboard?

did you overclock the system too much?

You could try updating the MOBO BIOS as this sometimes fixes incorrect temperature read-outs, if that's what this is rather than actual overheating?
