* Thermal issue for CPU
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer
system. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable
operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified
thermal requirements. AMD recommends the use of high performance
thermal interface material.
AMD Athlon/Athlon XP processors with a speed of 600MHz and above
require the LARGER heatsink and cooling fan. You also need to add thermal
grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation; then,
make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good
contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the proces-
sor and ensuring reliable operation.
