Quite possibly. Especially if the chip is getting that hot. Mine only |
| 9 |
went to the low to mid 50sC at full load. That was during the summer |
| 10 |
when room temperature was about 25-27C. Now it's cooler the |
| 11 |
temperature isn't going above about 46C loaded and 36C right now idle. |
| 12 |
Of course I also use powernowd so that helps idle temperature a lot. *8) |

Could be, but all Athlons from the XP on have had on die thermal |
| 17 |
diodes. No air gap problem as with the earlier socket A chips. The |
| 18 |
Athlon64 also has a thermal trip cut out. If it gets too hot it will |
| 19 |
switch off. |
