I have a Amd athlon processor and no the heat sink isnt stalk. My computer was built for me by this guy.
it's a minor issue, but something to consider is if it isn't a stock hsf, do you know what kind of thermal paste he put on it? if he put a generic paste on vs say a artic silver that alone can make the difference of 5 degrees C or so.
as for amd temps, i like to keep mine as low as possible. anything in the upper 50's or higher and i would be searching for some cooling methods...

to be safe i'd reccomend buying a new heatsink (they dont cost much anyways) and a new Case fan or 2 if your case has that option if u can get 2 fans place one as a exhaust and one to bring in air.
i no, but that's a bit big of a temp difference. wat's the temp range for amds? like how high is safe?Quote:

yes, but you have a P4
Sorry for saying this, but is the fan on the right way ??
Dont worry.......Perfectly normal.
Peace brotherdoobie
P.S. Most people underestimate cpu temps......Probaly
due to overclockers bragging about extremely low temps
in forums.....lol

Yes it is on right. How could you put it on wrong?
Thought u might have put the fan on upside down on the heatsink.
Thats strange how it gets hot.
Should the air be blowing towards the processor or out away from it?

the max die temp on a amd (1ghz+) is 95c and amd say anything upto 65c is reasonable, wouldnt let my cpu get anywhere near that though
@Triadcool the air should be blowing towards the cpu
