Temprature

Hi,i have just purchased and installed a Sempron 2600+
after years of using Intel cpu's.it is installed using the heatsink and fan
that came in the box and is running at about 60 degrees c,is this normal for
amd processors or should i invest in a better quality hs/fan?

You don't have the cpu cooler on right if it's that hot.

I'm pretty sure i have the cpu cooler on the right way wes,i am just
wondering if i would be better off with a better quality
heatsink/fan,possibly copper?

Hi,

I have sempron 2800+ and the temperature is about 60 degrees c. It's box
sempron with amd cooler. Maybe amd coolers aren't so good ???

Unlike that old 486 intel.. This new sempron needs something called a
Heatsink and it also needs something called a Fan

If the boxed cooler is all aluminum, then most definately. A TR2-M1 or
-M3 would work great for about $8.

Something is wrong. Either you have NO airflow through your case or the
heatsink in not mounted right.
