The Pentium OverDrive processor feels hot.
• It is normal for the Pentium OverDrive processor to generate heat while
operating.
Caution: Many chips in your computer, in-
cluding the Pentium OverDrive processor, can
actually become hot enough to cause mild skin
burns if handled after operating for several
hours. Let the computer cool off before at-
tempting to handle the Pentium OverDrive
processor.
Your Pentium OverDrive processor and computer have been function-
ing normally for some time, but you notice that suddenly your computer
and your application programs are running very slowly.
• Is the fan for your Pentium OverDrive processor functioning? If you
installed the software using Windows, check the fan monitor icon to
ensure the fan is functioning correctly. If you chose a DOS installation
for this software, invoke the fan monitor utility to determine if the fan
is functioning. For more details on the fan software, refer to page 21.
If the Pentium OverDrive processor fan stops functioning for any
reason, an added safety feature of the Pentium OverDrive processor
activates, stepping down the system speed to maintain thermal integ-
rity. Your system continues to operate, but at a slower speed. Once the
Pentium OverDrive processor fan again begins to function, turn off
your system, then turn the power back on to return your system to full
levels and to reset the Fan Monitor.
You open your Pentium OverDrive processor package and some of the
pins are bent.
• Carefully straighten any bent pins with needlenose pliers or tweezers
before attempting to insert the Pentium OverDrive processor in the
socket.
Caution: Pins are thin and can be easily broken.
