Hi

Just got a P5B / E6600 / 2GB Giel 4-4-4-12 memory.

Running Win2K on it

Asus probe reports CPU temp at around 45-50C. Is this normal?

I had trouble installing the heatsink as the instructions were pitiful and the mechanical design of the thing is atrocious. Having said that im fairly confident the heatsink is in place (to the best of its crap design).

Do i need to install any patches to Win2K to run the core2duo?

chrs
 
thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately ive had no end of trouble with this setup, for some reason every time i booted into windows, my hdd's were being seen as blank, dunno if its a bios problem or a win2k problem, lost 500GB of data anyway ;/

Installed XP this time round and it seems ok so far.

My setup is C2D 6600 @ stock, stock HS, Asus P5B, 2GB Geil LL Ram @ 4-4-4-12
2x250GB Spinpoints, 1x500GB Spinpoint, 1x74GB Raptor.

I thought i saw somewhere that this mobo read temps for cpu/mobo wrong way round?

I do have an XP120 from last setup (A64 3700) but i dont know if it will fit?
