I just upgraded from a PIII 933eb to an AthlonXP 2100+. I installed the hardware monitor and the temprature seems high. I bought the retail version and I'm using the stock heatsink/fan. The stock Intel heatsink/fans are very good. I'm not so sure about the AMD fans... If I had know this, I would have bought the OEM version and a 3rd pary heatsink/fan.
Numbers at idle:
Case temp 42° C
CPU temp 62.5° C
I added an extra case fan and got this at idle:
Case temp 35° C
CPU temp 56 C
It this high, normal or what?
