cold bug and dual core opty's

[Madwelsh]

Hi there, just wondering if the dual core 170's and 175's have any instances of the cold bug?? I can't seem to find anyone having this problem. so I'm figuring it must be very rare??? Planning on using a vapoLS. Anyone know/heard owt???

Cheers.

The opty`s have a very bad cold bug problem m8 so beware,i was going to get one and run it under my mach 2 gt but was told i should go for the X2 range as these are better with phase cooling.

An opteron cooled by air seems to average around 2.8 possibly at stock voltage. An X2 cooled by phase change ~2.9Ghz based on Jokesters result and a search of my stepping. There might possibly be "better" X2 steppings that can do 3Ghz but I doubt it.
