Re: Upgrading to hamm
Wow thanx....
It turns out that MY CPU has a metal heat sink with a fan attached....
but no heat sink grease (I will add some)
as fo r the memory....
About a month back my memory went bad (2 days after a pwer
failure...I runa UPS now -- 1.5 KVA..its nice) and I grabbed 32
MB out of an old Pentium 100 since it was the only RAM I had
One of the reasons I want the new motherboard is that the DIMM
slots on the old mother board don't work...all attempts to upgrade
the RAM have failed (so I have been stuck with 32 MB of old
RAM)
unfortunatly my problems with the NEW board I DOUBT are heat related...
they seem to be IDE controler problems
but once i get them squared away...I will be sure to try adding some heat sink
grease
then again...I believe my system exhibited the same problem with
SIG11 even after being off for hours...(previously it had been
up for a few weeks)
My CPU has always seemd to run cool...couse.//
my heatsink is large with a fan...and I have a larger case fan blowing crosswind
it
