MSI K7t Turbo Ltd Ed Mobo + AMD 1.2/266FSB CPU
https://forums.windrivers.com/
Anyone had the same probs?
Built 3 identical systems using MSI K7T Turbo Ltd Edition Mobo.
AMD 1.2Ghz CPU
256 SDRAM
etc etc
After 5 CPU changes, 2 Mobo changes, a Power supply and fans from 5000 to 7000RPM (All Globalwin) I still can't get the temp below 54Deg at idle!!!
One CPU actually began to give the dreaded "I'm cooking" smell!
Have tried all sorts......Never will build this combination again. Have never had probs with up to 1.0Ghz....Never used anything other than Gigabyte Mobo either.
MSI's answer? Move the heat sensor to other side of CPU! As if that would make a difference (No,it didn't)
Not yet game enough to make the CPU do a little work. The temp readings are just from booting and watching the nice graphic temp monitor package bundled with Mobo...Called PC Alert......Should be "Watch this mother cook!"
So........am I on my own, or are there any other "Cooked at idle CPU's by MSI" out there?
Hope for others sake, I am on my own. If I am, some tips would be nice.....sensible of course. I am not exactly in the joking mood anymore where these are concerned!
