Faulty fan causing reboots?

[machofairy]

I had a random reset problem after replacing my cheap HSF (Akasa 795) with the Akasa Carnival.

With new HSF,
Idle temps: Cpu = 47-49, Diode 60-62, sometimes higher.

So, I put old HSF back in and noticed:
Idle temps: Cpu = 50-51, Diode 55-56

So what is this diode temp then? Why does it go up as the cpu temp go down?

Or could it be a faullty fan circuit causing me all kinds of problems?

I have only just swapped back to the old fan, so it remains to be seen if thhis has solved the random reset problems.

Nope. did not solve it! I've listed my experience here:
