I'm running an AMD Athlon X2 4800+, OC'd to 3.2GHz. It runs like a charm and I'm not having any overheating issues. What I am having is it getting so cold the heatsink fan stops, thus causing insanely loud beeps to issue.
I realize this is most likely because of the AMD Cool n' Quiet technology (or something similar, I can't remember the name right now) which adjusts the fan speed according to the load of the CPU.
My mom likes to keep the furnace off/really low, so the house can get pretty cold. This is when it happens. I'm wondering if there is an easy fix for this, other than disabling the fan control BIOS setting and turning off the warning beep if the fan fails.
I really can't see why the fan would ever turn off as long as it is getting power; I'm guessing it just thinks the CPU is off from the temperature.
