Ok, I took the evening to install new mobo. Everything went fine, but cpu fan stopped working. I decided to try and remove the fan a bit, and it wasnīt a smart move, probably destroyed some electrics. Also, possibly, the silver thermal grease between heatsink and CPU "leaked" a bit in the installing process, and now the CPU heats up quickly. It went from 30īC to 70īC in about 15 minutes (just enough time to install some drivers), and I had to turn power off. I have a feeling I wont found replacements from this small city very soon. And there come the questions in:
How great temperatures CPUs stand? I read somewhere that it could temporarily stand 95īC, but what about in the long run? I have a Duron 800Mhz.
Which one do you think causes the heating, unsufficient amount of thermal grease or the non-existence of fan? I cant believe that a fan could dramatically drop the grades, so grease is my guess.
Thanks.
