I had a liquid system... That started to drop over my GF3Ti, the bios and, obviously the CPU. It got to 84ºC (That was the lsat time I could see the temp./volt. stats in during the POST. After that it died
.
Now I have a 2800+ with the bundled fan (recommended by AMD) and now it's doing fine... 43ºC, is the maximum temp I've got.
Btw, the sticky thing under the dissipator (blah, dodgy word
) should be concentrated over the central chip of the porcessor, don't manipulate it too much since it's very stycky and expands easily.
A good contact may improve a lot your fans effectivity.
