Overheating Celeron in new MB

[Bob151]

My Celeron 566 runs almost 20c hotter in my new systemboard. The old one was an Abit BE6-II O/C to 100Mhz(=850), voltage at 1.65 and temp according to the bios would top out at about 44c after hours of playing Quake 3 w/o lockups. (This board is removed to get the floppy controller fixed, its completely dead).

Now I'm running the ASUS CUSL2-C. Had some problem O/Cing, bios kept telling me it sensed faults or something, so I bumped it down to default, 566Mhz, voltage at 1.50. Its stable at this speed, but according to the ASUS board BIOS, its reportedly been at 59-64c. There looked to be plenty of thermal grease left on fan (golden orb) and CPU. It shouldn't be "globbed" on right?

Does one of these boards have a history of missreporting the temp? Any other ideas?

TIA

hmm, i had both boards before running celerons 533 and 566 overclocked to 800 and 850 respectively. shouldn't be a problem. but 60 degrees is really toasty. perhaps reapply thermal grease and see what happens.

2 things.
ASUS bios compensate temperatures ( 10C ca)
Golden Orb gives strange read with some mobo.

Ask Mikewarrior 4 more infos.

I have a cusl c and a golden orb too!
check really well that the golden orb only fits in one way!!
I had it the wrong way at first then the part that should be on the cpu rest partly on the socket and then there is no real good contact!!
there are like a couple of can like transitor something things near the socket and they are realy in the way of the orb if you put it on the right way!! You have to force it on a little and push them out of the way

Your heatsink probably isn't sitting flat on the cusl2. I had hte some problem with a CUSL2 + g-orb.

my celeron locks the fu(k up when it hits 66 degrees celcius. after that, it shows some weird alien letters
