We have a box here at home that has dual cpus and we just put two Athlon 2400+ XP and converted them to MPs to run dual cpus. One of the cpus kept getting very hot and it had very good contact with the PAL 6035 heatsink and it was very evident the arctic silver was getting spread all accross and good contact was being made. The other cpu is running around 55* C and the other cpu was running VERY hot at around 186* F/85* C and needless to say its fried and has a large black mark on the backside and is for sure a gonner. The other cpu is still in the system and seems to be running fine.

The other specs are motherboard is a MSI K7D Master dual cpu board
550watt Enermax PSU
6 scsi 15k rpm drives, 2 scsi controllers, 2 burners (1 cd, one dvd)

I'm wondering if something is wrong with the motherboard and its not controlling the voltage to the cpu correctly and is giving them too much voltage.

System temp is 28* and the one 2400+ XP --> MP is running about 53 C.
 
sorry to get off the topic of your question, but how is it that you convert an athlon XP to an MP.
 
for the OT guy: the exact method is in the AMD SMP faq, but you close the l5's (something like that)

back on topic, that does seem like a really high temp. what fans are you running on the pal6035's? a 25C rise above ambient (is that idle?) is pretty high, even for a load temp. my 2100+ running @ 1900mhz/1.85vcore is *only at a 23C rise above ambient with folding running on it. (paly core)

what is voltage set to in bios?


*insert sarcasm here
