Hi,

after my AMD 1800 gets to hot i want to upgrad my system with a AMD
3100.

Mainboard: ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
GFX: Leadtek 6600 GT
RAM: 1GB

Does this work or will there some problems?

What is the normal temperature for AMD 1800? Mine is at 70 degrees now,
i think this is a little bit to hot.

Thanks for reading Falko

As long as its a socket of course. I cant remember but I know some of
the early boards needed a bios upgrade to recognize the semprons if
thats what you are getting.

You have something wrong then, an XP1800 should not be at
70C, it doesn't run THAT hot except maybe with a really old
and bad heatsink, a failed fan or some kind of severe case
ventilation problem.

If all you did it swapped in a XP3100 in it's place, it
would run even hotter... unless the problem were
heatsink-CPU mounting and the swap just happened to correct
that.

Regardless, your motherboard is fairly good and you have a
fair amount tied up in the video card so it might be more
worthwhile for you to upgrade the CPU than some people who'd
have older or lower quality parts they'd abandon to move to
PCI express, so yes I think I'd probably pick up a faster
socket A CPU for that system, though probably a mobile
Barton Xp2400 then overclock it to about 2.3GHz... or an
XP3000, 3100, whatever.... but you still need to figure out
why it's overheating first.
 
thanks for the answers!

At 70 degree the machine crashes down and its because the cooler is
lame. When i buy a new CPU i buy it with a new powerful cooler.

It shouldnt get anywhere near 70 even with a crappy cooler.
Thats one lousy heatsink and fan combo if it gets to 70 C.
Ever since the old days when I had lousy fans and an old Tbird that
ran super hot Ive never gone over 135 F on avg. Maybe there was spike
I didnt see and with recent AMDs its around 111F -120F. Sometimes I
wonder if something wrong with my sensors they all seem to be cool.


Just get the retail CPU and use the fan that comes with it works fine.
