Chris, I did not see mention of thermal compound.

You did use it, right? I've been told the Silver thermal compound works better and is worth the extra bucks.

Also, on the super duper heat sink/fan. Be sure it is flush with the CPU surface and not touching part of the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) CPU socket. I managed to fry an Athlon because the edge of heat sink was resting on the "hinge" edge of the ZIF socket which was just slightly higher than the top of the CPU. Turning the heat sink/fan around 180 degrees did the trick (with the new Athlon :( ). There had not been a warning with the heat sink/fan manufacturer or with the Asus mobo manual about the potential problem. Expensive lesson.

Yeah, using Silver thermal compound

Sorry I forgot to mention that. I have silver everywhere -- on the heat sink, on my jeans, on the cats...

It could be the Current Draw with the BAD - (folkert) - (31) - Jan. 12, 2003, 11:05:32 AM EST

Hehehe, glad you like it - (cwbrenn) - Jan. 12, 2003, 11:28:08 AM EST

Yeah, try a BIOS upgrade. - (static) - (29) - Jan. 12, 2003, 09:50:18 PM EST

Well, I tried updating the BIOS - (cwbrenn) - (28) - Jan. 12, 2003, 11:03:30 PM EST

Updating the BIOS doesn't seem to work. - (cwbrenn) - (27) - Jan. 12, 2003, 11:57:28 PM EST

Try resetting the CMOS - (orion) - Jan. 13, 2003, 12:53:21 AM EST

That it's now reporting the CPU correctly is actually good. - (static) - (25) - Jan. 13, 2003, 01:01:22 AM EST

Or check the CPU fan - (orion) - (1) - Jan. 13, 2003, 02:16:12 AM EST

Well, the CPU fan/heat sink - (cwbrenn) - Jan. 13, 2003, 09:25:54 AM EST

But if it were a bad driver for one of the peripherals, - (cwbrenn) - (22) - Jan. 13, 2003, 09:24:44 AM EST

Not particularly... - (folkert) - (21) - Jan. 13, 2003, 09:42:02 AM EST
