might have been burned dust, but idk lol. seems unlikely at sub-100 degrees.

Yes, I assumed they were the same, but for some reason, my mobo doesn't make me reboot at 91C. or 101C!Quote:

The reboot value will be set in the bios. Sometimes there's no limit set depending on the motherboard manufacturer.Quote:

Doesn't matter. Strictly speaking, tons of PCs aren't really using "BIOS" either, but no one cares about what it's really called.
Also, i've been meaning to ask for a while now, exacly how hot is Shlup's sweet arse?
Quite hot. :jokey:Quote:

wait why did you replace all that?
Yeah, that seems to be a bit of overkill. It is very unlikely that more than one component would need replacement. What did you do with the heat sink?
just bc a pc will run at 91*C (and yours won't) doesn't mean it's safe/okay. That's bloody hot
There was one time when my heatsink fan didn't run - either it was unplugged or burned out i forget, but I kept getting reboots. frequent reboots = too hot
but you fixed it yay. ps since i can't make my own thread i'll just derail this one a bit:
I bought a new video card but it requires an 8 pin pci-e connector. my power supply does not have one but it does have a 6 pin, and the video card thankfully came with a 6 pin connector. Now I know 2 6 pin doesn't work (tried it), so i am going to try a 6=>8 pin connector tomorrow.
the question is - I only have one ide power cable to plug into the 6 pin adaptor - is that okay and also would the 6->8 pin adaptor work? is there a way around it?
No, that's not ok.
Are you sure your PSU can even power the video card you bought?

No i mean, even if you could get enough cables to give the card proper power, do you know if the PSU you've got can deliver enough amperage on the 12V rails? My PSU can deliver 31 amps there, what can yours deliver?
