[quote]I have tried replacing my heatsink and fan many times now , but
non if the new heatsinks were accepted by the motherboard.
When I try to boot the power goes out after 1 or 2 seconds.
The board is Asus A7V333 and the original heatsink is longer than
all the new ones , raised allowing it to cover most of the plastic
under which the sockets lever is attached. This raised area has
2 slits that are almost covered by the original heatsink so I hoped
there were light sensors there but that does not seam to be the case.
The detection doesn>t even involve the heatsink clamp being in place
since just placing the heatsink on top of the CPU seams to make it work.
Any other possibilities?
I would like to close this up since besides knocking on the fan
I have no other reason to keep it open.
The Atholon 2100MHz has always been running at 1300 since I got it
second hand because it was getting way too hot.
But even then if in C&C on a hot summer day....
Until I cleaned up the area of old heat transfer pad , old paste
and newly applied Stars 700 heatsink compound that I got almost
constant 60C (oops 52 now but I haven>t played C&C )
So best transfer with nothing on it.

I had a similar problem to this, I took it to the shop, they ended up
replacing the MB. They tried various things, couldn>t make it work .
Couldn>t tell why the heat sink would not maintain good contact. |
