We're going to let this Teccie have a go, if he can't do it it's going in, and if that doesn't work it's going into a local specalists and PC World can collect the bill.
They've picked the wrong person to screw over...

alot of athlon motherboards come with overclocking settings, make sure in your bios you ain't got they set to normal :)

The Bios is locked down to the extreme it being a prebuild - I can't edit anything.
Horness:
My servers are all running smoothly right now - in the loft. :shock: You can imagine the heat up there. Admittedly they are all P4 3.2's, but it's damn hot up there nonetheless.
Daft as it may sound - are you sure it's not the graphics card or motherboard over heating? I've seen both before with badly fitted (fallen off in 1 case) heat sinks, and the chipset was overheating.
AMD processors do run hotter than Intel anyway (I'll check the Athlon 64 3200 we have on the bench at work and edit this tomorrow) - but the fault may be somewhere else.
EDIT: Athlon 64 3200 sat on a work bench in a room which is 31 degrees is running at 38 degrees, CPU fan speed is 4440 RPM.
