SkeptiKal12 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 How have you guys faired using the stock heatsink on the 3800 X2? I am currently running at 2.42Ghz (still have a lot of testing to do). My temps arent too bad (38 idle 51-52 load). Im not having too much luck overclocking 1:1 with loosened timings so am using a 5/6 divider. Was hoping for 2.5 GHZ. Anyone there with a stock heatsink and what temps are you getting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICON57 Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 the stock hs i got with my cpu is collecting dust...lol but your temps are not bad, as these cpu tend to run pretty cool. an aftermarket solution will shave off a few celcius for ya i idle at 32~34 with my oc, and 1.7 volts going to the cpu, with my zalman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bubba Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 240x10 with a little voltage bump seems to be expected stock hs/f both mine do that no prob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone there with a stock heatsink and what temps are you getting? I'm down to 30C...It's getting cold here in NYC...I left my window open while I was at work and found the temps down to 28...The kicker...I'm overclocked to 2500...Using dual prime it gets up to 40...With the window open it stays at 38.

SkeptiKal12 Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Ya my idle is down to about 30-31C. If I can reach 2.5Ghz with the stock heatsink with reasonable temperatures than it would be a waste of money to upgrade the HS for another 100Mhz or so. Maybe I should upgrade my video card? Ha. I don't have the greatest chip so I am pumping some volts into it. Also noticed that the system is A LOT more responsive than my old S754 at 2.4Ghz with 1MB Cache. I guess I could possibly try the newer beta BIOS instead of the official to get better overclocks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr4y3r Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Im running 2.4ghz with temps 32 idle and 45 load...im also trying to run 2.5ghz but that requires alot of vcore so i think i need a new cooler or something because im running 1.41 with 2.4 and 2.5 requires at least 1.47-1.49.
