Help with Volcano 9

radracer55 · 03-14-2003, 06:21 PM

Ok here is the problem. I have the volcano 9 and you can have your fan set at 3 differnet setings.

1. full speed at 4800 rpm

2. manual speed where you control it through a switch

3. fan at auto speed

I want to have my fan set at auto speed. So I have to connect this sensor to my cpu. It is telling me to put it on the back side of cpu.. this makes no sense....Shouldn't I put it directly next to cpu??? Also when I do take my heatsink off my cpu do I have to add more thermal paste when it is ready to be put back on

thanks

Yes, you want the sensor on the back of the proc. Sensors in the past were in the socket area normally touching the backside of the proc. If you had the sensor on top of the proc, you could potentially cause a heat dissipation problem. And yes, you should use something like Artic Silver 3 when you are replacing the HSF assembly.
