My CPU fan failed
I have an xp2200+ athlon cpu. I have 2 exhaust fans near the cpu.
After using my pc for about 10 minutes it froze. I rebooted. It froze on booting Windows. I went into the bios, I thought maybe a voltage problem. I saw the chip core temp of 90 degrees and falling. I also noticed that there was no overheat shutdown protection enabled. I fixed that. When I opened my case, I saw that the fan had failed. So I replaced fan. My system powers up just fine now, It works without a problem. Chip surface temp normally Idles around 30 degrees. I ran cpu burn and got it to 45 degrees. Still no problems. Do you think I got away without damaging my CPU ? thanks |

A good high quality fan will last longer then a cheapie. Learned that lesson my self. J Garrell |

If I stopped it by hand, it would turn again except for one point. there seemed to be a dead spot where it would not turn again unless moved manually. When I last powered off it must have landed right in that spot. it's in the bin now I didn't fancy the cpu letting me down in the future, thats why I tried that cpu burn program to try and stress my chip. It passes ok. thanks |

As long as the HS is attached and your running at default settings, it will
likely be okay.... You might have taken a few years life off of it .. but who cares if it's running in 2020 vs 2030 eh? |

You might have taken a few years life off of it .. but who cares if it's running in 2020 vs 2030 eh? I run it at slightly lower voltage, but not overclocked. It was a year or 2 ago when I set it up. I seem to remember that knocking ..05 volts off lowered the chip temp quite a bit. Its rock solid and stable. Windoze 98 second edition and all is well It usually sits 10-15 above ambient system temp is usually 20 above ambient. |
