Well when I first built my opteron 146 build many moons ago, I had to make do with 2.7ghz, My temperatures were too high and clocking more than 2.7ghz caused prime errors.
Well the other day I bought an opteron dual core, things didnt work out, and I've gone back to my single core for now.
But heres the thing, After cleaning off the thermal compound, and applying some AS3, then reseating my HSF. Im now seeing temperatures that are amazing!!!
I've re done my overclock and I'm sitting at 2.95ghz, Prime stable.
Idles at 29c and Max Temp is 50c.
It used to be clocked at 2.7ghz, Idle just under 40c and creep into 70c.
How wierd is that???

Not complaining mind you, It's very nice for a single core media centre.
