3 gig ddr2 800mhz
gtx 260 Nividia
Abit AX78 MB Socket AM2
750w psu

No PC Parts are Overclocked

Wanting some advice on AMD CPUs as i have a Tempature Problem at the moment i have a good Heatsink and fan and have used many types of thermal paste to lower the Tempature of the CPU with no luck as of yet .

Using Speedfan 4.32 system Tempatures Read like this When not Running anyhing Underload
system 42C
CPU 54C
AUX 58C
Core 49C

Running a game Tempatures like this

System 48C max
CPU 66C max
AUX 68C max
Core 58C max

The Room with my PC in is like 10c over the Tempature of outside you see and ill never run any CPU cool that i understand this CPU is at stock speed not overclocked at all.

iam Wanting to upgrade to Quad Core but needed Advice on ie like would Quad Core Run Hotter than the Temapures iam getting at the moment with this AMD 6000+ CPU and should i look for a CPU of Less Performance but Lower Tempature seems wrong to down grade my CPU for a Cooler CPU low Performance.

Thx
 
A 45nm quad should run a lot cooler then your 90nm (assuming its a Athlon 64 X2 6000+).

Any Phenom II or most cost Core2Quads will work great.

Dont go for a Q6600, or Q6700 as they are 65nm quads and run very hot! (dont go for phenom 1 either).
 
yes i have a Athlon 64 X2 6000+ on a AM2 type board but iam not really wanting to upgrade my Motherboard so i would be looking at anything cooler than this AMD 6000+ CPU and the cost of CPU does not matter i mean i dont have a small budget to get a new CPU 45nm sounds good but does that mean i have to upgrade to a AM3 MB sorry if this sounds Noobie Question LOL
