full load.......

[tRaptor]

how do u determine full load? i run UT or 3dmark 2001 but how do u guy's?

also my temps seem high, 44-46 when jsut working normally, and about 49-51 after/durring playing UT for awile, should i be worried?

duron 750 @ 857 (currently)

Your temp is fine at the moment although I would suggest you get a better HSF to cool it down further. Below 50 degree is better for the AMD CPU. I've installed my GB WBK38 and the temp never got to 50 degree (avg is 36 idle , 45 full load)
My system is a Duron 800@933.

I have encountered a lot of crashes previously with the stock HSF especially when shutdown after I played DF3 and it was the heat problem cause it was at 51-52 degree.

im conciderijng getting a Global Win FOP32-I it looks pretty small, but its good... and other recomendatioins

[Berserker]

The FOP32-1 is a good cooler and it is not as big as the WBK38 and it uses the same Delta fan.
Check your motherbord especially around the CPU socket for any capacitors or things that will prevent it to install properly.

Good luck on the FOP32-1.

To determine a typical full load on a processor, you can use utilities such as CPU BurnIn.

I've found out by personal experience that running your CPU/FPU at 100% does not necessarily produce the highest temps. I've always hit the highest CPU temps (higher by 2 - 4°C) by running a combination of Genome@Home (background always on) and a 3D Game such as UT/Q3 foreground with lots of bots. A system may be stable at 49°C with 100% CPU load but lock up at 52°C when a 3D game starts.

I'm also on the Abit KT7A-R. My WBK38 fits perfectly on top of the CPU socket and the capacitors are quite far to have enough room for the HSF.

I suggest that when installing the FOP32-1, it is advisable to remove the PSU so that you have enough room to work when installing the HSF. GlobalWin are known for the hard clips.

My friend crack his TB when he tried to put his WBK38 on the CPU.

Just installed a FOP32-1. Yes, it isn't very big, but performs quite well. Lot of surface areas as the heatsink has many thin fins and the fan is pretty decent. I was considering the FOP38. It's the same heatsink but with a high powered 7000+ rpm fan. That one cools like a mofo but is very loud.
