New Pc

Alright...The CPU seems to want to run to hot.

I am thinking we send the cpu back and the mobo and get a new mobile 2500 and the abit nf7-s. That way the chip might run cooler and the board will work fine.

is anybody alive

:P


sounds like a plan. ;)
maybe before that try updating the bios to the latest version maybe there are some compatibility problems fixed in the latest?

we r goin to go with the Abit

there has been more success with the Abit, so we get that

ok. :)

abit's got more OCing options anyway (from what i've heard).

yes thanks

Remember the Abit will also report temps higher then your Asus (which apparantly reports low)

we r switchin the CPU and gettin the XP M 2400

ive seen more systems with that cpu, so is it better to get a 45 watt or a 35 watt


on the abit board how much is the difference in temps? and will speed fans detect cpu temp right?


thanks

The case is beautiful, and is VERY strong.

Alright, we will be returning the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe and the Mobile 2500XP

We will be getting the Abit NF7-S and the 35watt Mobile 2400XP. Hopefully we will have it by wensday and we can get it up to 2.5Ghz
