I modded the case with a second 80mm under the original. Now the Zalman is blowing more air right into the fan for exhaust. Bought a 120mm fan oem from Lian Li (BS-01) that pulls air off the video cards and blows out the back stock vents. Opened up the air intake in front of case where the...

Core Temp crashes my PC! Checked web page and in the Debug the problem is known. So I removed it. Pops

Checked out Core Temp. Here are the readings: core #0= 35c core #1= 35c vid= 1.275v Big differance from Asus Probe CPU= 43c Vcore= 1.33v So am I correct if I assume my FX is not running as hot as I thought? Can I except the Core Temp readings over the Bios and Asus probe...

I used AS5 and applied just a rice size drop as the web page directs. Even gave the cooler a twist after install. I'll take a look at that cooler. I put a 120mm fan from Lian Li that pulls the hot air off the video cards and blows it at the vents in the rear of the case. I also removed one...

BIOS: 1303 being used shows Voltage set to 1.285 Hardware Monitor in BIOS shows 1.33 Asus Probe II shows 1.33 Should I keep dropping voltage until the Hardware Monitor and Asus probe read 1.3?? Why do I get differant readings? Anyone using this MB and which BIOS are you running...

Here is a link to the case at Newegg. I have no way to post a pic of my case. :( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112040 The inside is very neat! All cables are out of the way of air circulation. I will tell you this the Zalman does not blow directly out the rear...

I have it set to 1.3 in Bios and Asus probe says it is 1.33. Is Asus probe accurate? The MB Temps are hot too. Tried playing Fear Combat with case closed up and MB alarm went off too. That is set at 55c. Thanks, Pops

Maybe I should ask in the Case Forum for help too. If a Moderator reads this post would it be OK to post in the Case Forum also with my question? TIA, Pops

The FX is a ADAFX60DAA6CD. The specs at AMD list variable 1.3-1.35. I'll check the Bios and set to 1.35. Asus Probe II is showing 1.39. Thanks, Pops

No overclocking or increased voltages. The case is stock: 2x80mm in front 1x80mm Top 1x80 rear So the FX60 runs Hot by standards? TIA, Pops

Ever since I installed my FX60 I cannot get my PC to run while gaming due to hot CPU. I have a Zalman 9500 AM2 with AS5 installed correct. Once I start gaming the FX gets to hot to run. I can remove the front cover of my Lian Li PC-65 and the filter and the PC is cool and runs great. It...

Sorry tried Everest and just didn't have enough smarts to get it working and understand it.:rolleyes: Pops

Regular Daddy: An update please!! Did the new PS fix your problem?

Is there a program that will run ontop of a benchmark so I can watch my temps and voltage readings while I bench? Asus Probe II will run while Orthos is going but kick in 3Dmark06 or AquaMark3 and you cannot whatch your temps. My PC is shutting down since I installed new FX60 so I am...

Again Thanks!! for all the advice. I'll keep all of it mind when I reinstall XP this weekend. Looking at the OC Forum for some tips on Ocing my FX60. Thanks :) Pops
