p3 600b temp

[wildc]

Hallo everyone

At this moment I have a P3 600B slot1 CPU
the bios is monitor the cpu at 75C is that normal..
If I start an application the temp can go to 90C (WHOW!!!)
in idle mode is about 45-50C
My heatsink attach to the CPU doesn't have any termal stuff
ANY other materials I can use to coool off

Okay, that's way too hot and that heatsink should have somekind of element between the processor and the slug itself.

Try and get your hands on some Arctic Silver II Thermal grease. That should helo cool things down a bit. Also, what type of heatsink do you have on the processor? Is it the same one that came with the box or is it an aftermarket model?

Thanks for your advise..

P3 600B slot1 oem???

You could fry the chip with temperatures that high. First of all, you should get some thermal paste on immediately. Then you should check the airflow in your computer case. If there's no fan, it works like an oven. More and more heat builds up inside. Then you should look at buying some fans and installing them in your case. Also, get yourself a more expensive heatsink.

I'm sure, other users can help you with this. I have no idea about vendors in the Netherlands.

For thermal paste look under Electronica-onderdelen in the Gouden Gids (Yellow pages). Most of these shops should have it, most computer shops don't.
You can also find fans in most of these shops, and in some computer shops.
For a good cooler, and Arctic Silver, you can look here http://www.tweakers.net/pricewatch.dsp where it says 'Overclocking & Cooling'.
Before you do anything else you should get the paste, as SadSadPanda pointed out.
