[Gllug] Underclocking an Athlon

[George F Saxby]

Walid, 47 degs is way too high the max it should be is 7degrees over system 
ambient usually sub 30 Degs. Suggest you read :-

www.articsilver.com

I had a an AMD running at 32 degrees after disturbing the heatsink this was 
because the pink crap of death had bubbled and I had a n air bubble instead 
of contact. I applied the artic and the temp went sub 20degrees and after 7 
hours running climbed to 27degrees with an ambient of 20 degs.

	When you come to L2E bring the beasty and we will silver it. 
AS to mobo's with temp sensors almost all modern boards run cut outs. 
unfortunately the read outs & setting are via bios screens only. There are 
CPU health s/ware out there but experience showed they could cause crashing 
on dozy boxen.
