so pushing the cpu to 70 degrees c for long periods of time will fry the chip ?
also another weird problem occurred.
when the cpu is running at full (3.4 ghz ) i get a whining sound coming through my soundcard. After enabling cool n quite, the cpu is running at 800 mhz and the noise goes down alot. ?
another problem to look at

It`s a pci card Terratec dmx6fire with breakout box.
It looks like some kind of earth problem maybe. I took out the breakbout box and the problem is still there. On my old computer when i took out the box the noise went away. Could be power supply related ?
i`ve just done the northbridge chip also. With new thermal paste
Best

3 things:
1.) Get a good aftermarket cooler like this one, cheap and very good.
2.) Your CPU won't be running at 100% all the time, so don't worry about frying the chip.
3.) That whine is probably your PSU.

i think i will take your advice and buy a new cooler.
Might go with a high end thermaltake model though.
I might get a new power supply too and the old one is 15 years old.

Last week I opened up the case of my desktop pc for a spring clean and de dust of all fan blades, including the stock cooler that came with the i72600 chip, put it back together and all seemed well.
Next time I switched on, for some unknown reason, I decided to boot into bios and found the cpu temp in the red. Turns out I had dislodged one of the locking gizmos so the fan wasn't seated correctly. Panic? Just a little.
All good now though.

You should consider reapplying thermal paste before long, just to be on the safe side. It should be done every 2 year or so, some say. My laptop is running hotter now than before. It's not a small task to reapply thermal paste, but I think that is what I must to get it cooler. On my desktop though, it is quite easy.OutCider wrote:Turns out I had dislodged one of the locking gizmos so the fan wasn't seated correctly. Panic? Just a little.

Thermal paste is cheap, but essential for cool operation.

Yeah, carefully scraped the old stuff off and put a pea size dollop on when I noticed the fan had come away.
