Athlon XP 2600+ (2.08GHz) running with standard heatsink & fans on NF7-S board.
Recently, this thing has started overheating (to the point the alarm kicks in) if I leave it on for more than a couple of hours. I think the alarm is set at 70 celcius, so that's one hell of a lot hotter than this setup should ever reach.
Currently, I've just taken the precautions of having my window wide open next to the comp with the side of the case removed. This is helping a bit.
Currently, the board temp is 36 and the CPU temp is a steady 53. Safe enough to run, but still far hotter than it should be. I don't know why?
Both fans appear to be working fine, and I've never had any problems till the start of this week. Prior to that, the board would run at room temp (say 23-25 celcius) and the CPU at around 30 or so.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
