ok i took the HSF off finally!!!
now i cant put it back in :helpsmile:
set it on the chip then push down both latches on the side...if u have a hs that uses the latches
[SIZE=1]AMD 4200 X2 @ 2.65Ghz, ASRock 939-VSTA
1.75GB PC3200, 2 X 160GB Seagate w/ 8MB Buffer
HIS Radeon X800 Pro, Antec Super Lanboy Aluminum
i put everything back in and i see 5 Degrees difference
but i think the temps arent accurate because in speed fan it shows a diff temperature and in the msi utility it shows diff temp....
underload:
50-52 Degrees C in msi utility
45-48 Defrees C in Speed Fan
Idle:
43-47 Degrees C in Msi utilty
37-43 Degrees C in Speedfan
also the hdd makes that annoying noise when its working on something...
u know... the noise on old computers...
i know u can turn that it off but i dont know how :helpsmile: something to do with the bios i think
Glad you finally got the HS off, saves me replying to your PM, but I agree that some of them can be a real swine to remove. When you've done a few you suddenly find there seems to be a trick to it and they are a lot easier from that point on, although you don't know what you are doing different.
Don't know what the MSI utility is, maybe they adjust the temps because they don't trust the readings from the sensor, but you can be pretty sure the readings from Speedfan are correct as long as the sensor is ok. But the important bit is whether the temps with the same prog are better than they were before.
In any case, your temps don't sound too bad. The ones reported by MSI's utility are possibly a little high if you are planning to overclock, but otherwise they are nothing to worry about.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
i overclocked to make it a AMD 2800+ ran Prime 95 for a couple of hours
no problems everything working fine...
highest temp it went to was 54 Degrees and 56 in msi utility
i am not going to overclock any higher...
the guy is coming to pick up the computer in the morning
thanx for all ur help guys
