    Pretty High temps for a 3800X2

    Hmmmm, this machine has been running for over 2 years... mostly used as a desktop, so time to see what the temps are in orthos :).

    IDLE

    Orthos

     

    Hmmm, it goes past the Tcasemax... pretty good space heater. Also know that i really dont care about this desktop, so i will not buy a new heatsink.


    Blame him ^^^

    Dang, that's pretty hot. Perhaps you should buy a new heatsink, or at least clean out the dust.

    Free of dust, lapped HS and CPU dropped by 3 degrees, so before it was 73, but i don't really care, its an old OEM compaq upgraded to a dual core.

    That would do it, using the same heatsink as the single core processor that was there? Running that hot can potentially damage the CPU. If I remember right AMD says permanent damage occurs at 80 degrees Celsius.

    Anyways i may consider buying an aftermarket heatsink, i am using the same heatsink as the single core processor. I only bought the processor for 20$ so its a pretty good deal.
