  • Cooling the Athlon XP

    Is anyone having probs cooling the XP. A mate has a 1700+ and can't keep it below 60C under load.

        My XP rarely goes over 32C w/an Alpha 8045 & Delta 80cfm - I didn't try this cooler on my T'Bird1.4 - but My impression is that the XP's are a little cooler

          Just out of curiosity, what is he using to measure the temperature? There are some compacitors (or something) that sit all along the bottom of the XP processors, so a standard thermister that is attached to the mainboard may not be an accurate tale for temperatures.

          Just a thought.

            Yeah that is a thought but they will be back on top with the change to the 0.13 manufacturin' process. :smokin:

              OB- RDR's post brings a question to mind, what's your buddy's hsf, if he's running the retail pkg, I've heard that AMD maybe doing a hsf recall......the early ship'd units are running way to hot.

              Darth did you check my temp's.........may thats for your help, too!

                  I'm running XP 1600+, with Dragon Orb CPU heatsink and fan, 80 mm case fan,Zerus Twin turbo 5.25 bay fan, and slot fan under my video card. CPU temp is around 40C under load. No problems so far.

                      It always happens but it's not just the youngin's that do it either as I have a pc back for the 5th time from a 56yr old who just has to fiddle with things he knows nothin' about. :(

                          I've got good temps for my XP
                          Its an Athlon XP 1600+ (1.4GHz) Oc'd to 1.6Ghz @ 1.85v with a Modded Dragon Orb 3 running at temps around 27-32c

                          Very happy with it indeed.

                          btw, got a pipe hooked up the the orb, blowing 100CFM from outside the case all focussed onto the heatsink. (pulled off the 7k fan - too noisy)

                              getting a better heatsink latter on down the track
