Go up one level in this thread


I always understood AMD's go more to the limits of their capability, reason why
overclocking should be done with more care, and with cooling.
If you didn't overclock, and your CPU fan is working okay (maybe you could find
a monitor program for that, when the motherboard supports it, and check the fan
speed) you shouldn't worry.

BTW maybe the kind of cooler you can put on a HD also fits at the bottom of your
CD-Rom or DVD-Rom, and maybe your MB supports an extra fan. In that case you can
have extra cooling for the device instead of for the CPU for just a few bucks.

Most PC components can handle heath quite well - if nothing's failing, that is.
Sure that's the case? - no worry.
