Oh well,
Installed the Volcano 6Cu+ today on my overheating Athlon XP 2000+ and it didn't seem to make any difference at all to my CPU temperatures. It's still in the high 60s. I did notice one thing though. I installed the PC Probe software that came with the Asus board and it reports a high +12V reading (+13.xx) volts. How can this affect my PC? I'm going to get the power supply replaced tomorrow but can someone enlighten me to what damage this can cause?
Also I'm disappointed with AMD. It seems you always have to spend extra money to get your CPU to run cool. I've noticed that most of the overheating posts on these fora are about the AMDs. Darn...
