Ive gave my bro my old 2600xp. Now ive put it on its running at close to 60C all the time, and that is underclocked to 1.6gig so i know it will fry if i put it normal. Ive tried the stock AMD cooler and a coolermaster jet7 and they both get poor results. I really need to do something about it but im out of ideas, and i dont want to spend any money on it.

Any1 got any ideas i can use to cool this thing down??

thanks
 
yea i put sum AC5 on. I did everything the same as on mine and my 3200 is still at less than 35C all the time. :s
 
Try another cooler like the Thermalright XP-90, that should give better performance.
 
You could try clearing the BIOS. Or may-be flashing it to updated version. And yes, AS5 will help, remember just a pinch and spread it out nice and thin.

The 2600xp shouldn't be running that HOT for any reason.
