Thermal Issue for CPU
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly cru-
cial when building computer systems. 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™ processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires LARGER
heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and
heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink
are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed
to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation.
You can check AMD’s web site for more information on proper cooling.
