Bin in Deutschland, aber...



Hey all--

I'm in germany for the next month but still reading my e-mail and
interested in more info about my previously-described processor problems.
I found out that my processor was running at 145F (way too hot). I
underclocked it from 166 (150 actual, it's a cyrix)  to 133. Still too
hot. So I took the voltage down from 2.9V to 2.8V. A little better - now
it runs at about 130F (=55C). This stopped the lockups for now, but it
still locks up by getting too hot every so often. Is it just my processor,
or maybe my heatsink, or the fact that there's no thermal compound between
the processor and the heatsink, or am I running at the wrong voltage
entirely, or what?

Thankz,
