Just changed the stock heatpipe AMD cooler that comes with the Opteron 170 for a mates XP120 to reduce noise a little. CPU temps in smartguardian have not really changed, which does'nt surprise me as they were struggling to go over 40 anyway.
The problem is the PWMIC temperature is going over 60 and shutting down the board. I can change this threshold, but it never got this high before.
The chip is running 260x10 at standard volts, which it has been since day one.
Surely the XP120 would increase the cooling over the PWMIC area???
Is this a bad temp, how should I attempt to remedy it??
All advice appreciated!!#
PS the 120 is only running at the slowest speed (antec fan) but as the CPU temp has'nt changed I don't think that that is the problem.
