Hello all,

Today I changed my CPU from an AMD 2100 to an AMD Mobile 2400+.  I also
upgraded the CPU fan to Thermatake Silent Boost rated to AMD 3200+.  I
applied the usual thermal paste, a quick easy switch. Powered up fans are
all spinning.

In the BIOS I changed the FSB to 166 and and adjusted the multiplier until
we were running at about 1.9 MGhrz.

Problem is the CPU temperature hit about 70 deg C before I turned it off.  I
clocked it down to about 1 MGhtz and it's settled at 56 Celsius.

I know the Mobile CPUs run hotter, but how hot?
