Problems with current setup.
I currently run a duron 600 at 900 with about 1.6 v with temps in the mid 40s according to my kt7. I have a polyblock with a circular copper block and aluminum heatsink inside which runs with a rio 180? and some coiled copper tubing (because i am cheap). i use water stuff that is pink from napa like water wetter and have a tupperware container to hold the water cause it was only 1.50
problems i upgraded my bios and the temps went up i installed win2000 and my temps went up again. has anyone noticed this before?? i realize they are not that accurate but now i am running it at only 650 and getting temps up to 42 when i use my cpu a lot. it used to be down in the lower 30s. how do i clean out my polyblock? i think that may be a problem as i ran it for a while without the antiocorrosion stuff in. i am going to replace all my tubes and get a new radiator, probably a stacked plate, but i can't spend much money. any advice on cheap alternatives or actual places to buy them??? also, MEMPHIS, are you from mephis? thanks in advance. red |

You cant really go cheap with this stuff...your crude radiator is the reason its overheating. you shouldnt have to worry about corrosion unless you see a buildup on your tubes near any metal devices (but since all you have is copper it wont corrode...its when you mix metals that they start electrolysis).
Hope that helped |

yeah, i guess its crude, but it was working fine for a long time. i just never have found a cheap radiator yet. i was just wondering if the kt7 bios was adjusted at all.
i can get my 600 to boot at 1000 but i don't have the right setup yet. its kind of annoying. |

Could be that the changes are working the CPU harder, but I dunno. I reckon with a new radiator the problem will dissapear. Make sure its a good radiator!
