[captnconcrete]

hello fine fa people .. just quick question ..

 

I have been chating with xernicus  from fa on my old rig... mobo is k9a2neo .. I just got a amd9850 95 w cpu to replace my amd4600duel core .. an was wondering if I can just swap it or I need to flash bios first...?I know its old .. but its what I got........I would appreciate any help thank u fine sirs and ladies....

If bios is updateable, I'd switch new cpu first to avoid malfunctions as your old cpu does not support new bios.

The fan might be because of the old bios. Updating it/or install speedfan (might support your mobo) and you might be able to control the fan.

 

//EDIT: also check the bios on startup, if you can adjust the speed of fans there.

Thermal paste is important, but keep an eye on your CPU temps, the AMD 9000 CPUs can run really hot, liquid cooling would be best but if you're keeping it down now, you're probably fine

[captnconcrete]

yes thank u ...I fixed it when I wiped all the paste I put on off and did like cookiemonster said .. I  really musta been messed up to put it on like I was painting  it .lol thank u ..

ya and you can't forget that some  fans  are running  load for over  heating problems to so if it does get louder you really should keep a eye on your temps  at the times and what your doing  at the time to

there are a few different programs out there to check temperatures, Piriform speccy and cpuid HWMonitor will show temps of everything, theres a few others but those are both free and decent.

 

Rough temperature numbers you can usually go off:

CPU should be close to 30-35ºC  (about 90ºF) when not doing anything, and top end should ideally be 60C (140F) for your amd 9850 cpu when working at 100% load

 

motherboard should be 30-50 depending on how hard it is working, cooler if not working hard.

 

graphics cards should be under 70C when working, anything under 40 is fine when not

 

storage drives should be in the 30s roughly.

 

If you have questions toss them up here and I'd be glad to help
