Athlon CPU temperatures...?

[medium_dave]

'allo all.... I wondered if anyone could help me with information on CPU temperatures.

I've randomly inherited an old-ish laptop (Acer Aspire 1350), which had a Athlon XP-m 2200 CPU in it. I had an XP-m 3000 kicking around, so I bunged it in the machine to give it a bit of extra poke.

Now, whilst it works well enough, the fan seems to be coming on fairly frequently. I didn't bother to check how it was with the 2200, so I don't know if that's normal for the model...

Does anyone know if a 3000 would produce a lot more heat than a 2200? If so, is a heatsink designed for a 2200 likely to cope well enough?

Thanks for any advice...

it will produce more heat, because its faster

and i recon, aslong as the fan isnt on full blast all the time, and the laptop doesnt keep going dead, that it is okay

unless it keeps dying, and/or burning through the desk then i would recon it would be okay

The 3200's run on more volts, especially than the ol' XP-m's iirc

Don't quote me tho

More volts = more heat
