Cpu Cooler For Athlon
- Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within their safe operating temperature limits. Various cooling methods help to improve processor performance and/or to reduce the noise of cooling fans.
- Athlon is the brand name applied to a series of x86-compatible microprocessors designed and manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
- the official name of AMD's 7th generation processor. Comes in several variants that include classic Athlon and the Athlon "Thunderbird". Also see K7, model 1, model 2and model 4.

cooler grid for PC chipset
new WINDOWS computer!
the chipset includes two large SiS IC packages, one shown here in the picture,
the other one already has a cooler grid attached.
this system board is based on AMD Athlon 2GHz processor.
and this chip becomes unreasonable hot, so much that it is uncomfortable to touch it. guess 80 or even 90 degrees celsius!
i am not sure if this is good for the chip.
for this reason, i have attached a tiny cooling grid, normally used for 7805 voltage regulators (and other devices using the same package).
to ensure good contact, i used some leftover from the heat conductive substance included for the CPU!
the result!
it worked. now it can be touched, it just gets hot. i assume 50 to 60 degrees, a temperature completely harmless for silicon chips.
there are no screws, no glue etc. it is just sitting on the chip!

Cooler Master Hyper TX3... mmmm.
Bought it for $20 from Amazon. A few days later, Newegg had it for $15, and Amazon followed suit with their automated pricematching.
