PCMech Forums - View Single Post - AMD k6-2 475 overheating

I'm trying to breathe new life into some clunker pc's at work by putting in some epox mvp3c2 boards and amd k6-2 475 processors. I put the first one together and it posted fine but the processor heats up within minutes and the alarm goes off. Core voltage is set for 2.4v - like it says on the processor. Bus speed is at 95 with a multiplier of 5x for the 475 cpu clock speed. Those numbers check out in the BIOS settings. The temp alarm is set for 140. I've never had one overheat, so I'm wondering what I should be looking for as the problem.
