I have a custom built machine I'd built about a year back. It has a Barton (didn't know at the time why they sucked so much) AMD Athlon XP 2800 with an Abit Socket A Mobo with an nVidia nForce 2 Chipset and a uGuru Overclocking Aid Chip. Well, the case I built it with sucks and only can be kept truly cool if I keep the side panel open. Someone spilled coke into my case and now I can't seem to keep my CPU cool. It's running at about 166 degrees Fahrenheit and the VCore is sitting at about 2.1... Now, I don't know if this is bad or usual, but the board beeps with an unusual beep code that sounds like an Ambulace Siren. I need help before this CPU fries (if that happens). Thanks!

for a start if your overclocking still i would stop as 166 farenheight is rather toasty.
Set your cpu settings to the defaults and see how hot this gets if its still unusually high then i would very carefully dismantle your pc and clean away any coke and dust you have lingering in there

(id do that anyway as coke dust n pcs dont mix so says my fried old mobo)

also leaving the side panel off can lead to more damage than good. if you want to cool your processor down while overclocked id get a better cooler (preferably a heatpipe cooler like mine http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=HFA-GT1000 ) or a water cooler like the aerocool aquagate

hope this helps :P
