I recently bought a volcano 7+ for my AMD 1800 ( 1.53Ghz ). I assembled the heat sink ( no thanks to the company that made it, or to there asian instructions ) install it to my mobo and boot up the computer. Everything is going fine, untill i get into windows where my computer crashes. I try a reboot/adding more thermalgel/different fan settings, still it crashes. I pop my original heatsink in, and bam the computer is back to its great performance. I took a look at the heatsink and i noticed that the distance between the copper heatsink and the fan was quite large compared to the 1 in the diagram/my normal heatsink...
i dont know how to fix this because the screws appear to be in the proper place. If anyone has had this problem please PM me.

ok, i forgot to mention that im using a standard PS (300watts) that came with my case. the distance between the fan/heatsink is about half a cm, i used the thermal gel which came with my Volcano 7+.

no i cant take a pic cause i dont have a digi camera...i would really like to put this heatsink into use because its so powerfull/well rated...

is it possible that its the cooling gel being used? perhaps i need a more standard one like Artic.....just a thought

No using that paste wouldn't been that bad (unless ya tried to use the lot) but is the fan blowing into the heatsink or is it sucking out of it? :?:

it needs more power than the mainboard can give it...

OK if your familiar with the Volcano 7+ wiring you have 1 yellow wire which runs into the fan ( this i plugged into my CFAN ) the other 2 red/black wires run into a splitter out of the splitter i put the yellow wire into my NBFan (this may be wrong but it works :?) the red/black run into the rpm changer and then into the power supply....By the way im running of the MSI KT3 Ultra2.
