I&#8217;ve come across a bit of a problem though.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago I popped an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3100mhz CPU into a Geforce6100sm-M V1 motherboard. It replaced a CPU that was 5000+ 2600mhz.<\/p>\n<p>Since that point the CPU has never been lower than 57 degrees and quickly gets hotter. The PC switches itself off within about 10 minutes, less if it&#8217;s under any kind of load. I reapplied thermal paste (Arctic Silver) according to the instructions but it&#8217;s only giving me an extra 10 minutes or so before I get the same cut out. The fan seems to be running without any issue and is free of dust etc.<\/p>\n<p>Can anybody provide any advice on how to stabilise performance, bar simply going back to the old CPU? In a previous post I noticed a helpful user pointed out that the new CPU required 89w of power rather than 65w. However, I&#8217;m not clear on how to change this (if I need to) or whether there are other settings in the BIOS that need manual intervention.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been into the BIOS but any settings related to voltage all appear to be greyed out with no option for me to take manual ownership and change them.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance for any thoughts\/comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":5},"question-category":[44],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-1393","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-cpus"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/1393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=1393"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=1393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
