    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    Updating BIOS didn't help. Also when it reached 70C I tried touching the heatsink and it was actually it felt just a little warm to touch. Like touching human skin, so about 30+C. What more could I actually do?

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    wow. It started overheating again. Awesome, AMD... :mad: I guess I'll try updating my BIOS. It hast the Q-Flash thing, so it can recover even after failing the update.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    I have the F2 BIOS version. As long as it doesn't overheat any more, I wont update it.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    So. I bought a new heatsink. It's not anything too awesome, buy all I could get in my town. (Xilence AM3 PWM) The temperatures aren't rising anymore. They are holding at 60° max. It's still a rather high temperature, but with my crappy case it's probably fine. I'll still do some tests and...

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    I tried resetting the BIOS. Nothing changed. It's still overheating. I'll go and buy a new heatsink later.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    My GPU/CPU is not overclocked. I know how to clean/apply/reapply thermal paste. And yes, al though the fan runs at full speed it still overheats. Oh and I'm using "Titan Nano Grease". I guess it's not the worst one. (I looked for reviews on the Internet and it seems to be quite good) I'll try...

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    Well, I'll buy a new heatsink tomorrow. If that won't work then I'll seek for more help.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    Ok. I'm not using it then. But... When I download it from the Gigabyte site (the F4), should I just open it (the .exe file)? Well then I extract it and then there are three files - autoexec.bat FLASHSPI.exe M61PMES2.F4 should i just open autoexec.bat?

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    It sure is REV 2.0 Oh, I have the @BIOS installed, I just wasn't sure if it's any good because I read some bad things about it somewhere.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    There is "Rev. 2001" one the manual, so it should be the same one? Oh. It's written one the MB. I'm gonna turn the pc off and check.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    I have the F2 version so I might try the F4. I looked at the box that came with the PC and this is the only product that matches. I don't even know how to know what rev this is. But I guess I'll try it then

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    I know double-posting is bad, but I kind of need an answer for this one. :eek:

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    Well. All right. I'll try it. I'm confused. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2755#bios This is the page for my BIOS. I shouldn't choose F5B because it's a beta BIOS right. Then what does "Note: Please use the previous BIOS version for the item 2 features support." exactly...

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ overheating

    Yes. It's working as it should. Gets faster when the CPU gets hotter. I guess I could try updating BIOS, but only after buying new heatsink/cooler.
