Its not that i care about my electricity bill, but more that my current 5200+ is fitted in a Sugo SG03 case and idles around 41-43 and peaks about 60C during benchmarks which to me is about right and acceptable.

Thats high to me, I'm using an s939 opteron 175 (105w iirc) nt06 (psu fan cooled) in a sg01e and my load temps are 50-55 depending on ambient temps, idle down at 31C (CnQ enabled).

I have seen some boards appear to be registering the wrong temps and working on that assumption I wouldn't expect your rig not to go above 60C (allowing a 10C difference to mine). The change of chip might even allow for a better reading of temps.

Personally though I wouldn't bother with changing unless its being overclocked.
 
That does seem rather high to me also.

My Opteron 144 ([email protected]) currently idles at 28'c and hits around the 50 mark at peak. I'm also running a lot of volts compared to standard.

Does your setup allow you to fit the Arctic Freezer Pro or similar?
 
It'll be a bit of effort but you should really check and see, especially since you've got the chip already.

Might seem a bit silly but what about selling the 6000 and getting a 5000BE with the money? They're on the 65nm and run pretty cool from what I've seen.
 
If the CPU is sat in front of you throw it in!

It'll take a matter of minutes to install and then just throw some prime at it, see what sorts of temps you hit.

Your mATX 'passive' cooling will always keep things toasty, might be worth looking at squeezing a larger passive sink and faster fan in the case.

I'm using the exact same cpu cooler but with a tagan psu in case with lesser cooling on a cpu that should run hotter yet my temps are lower :rolleyes:
 
Well in which case it could be down to peripherals (additional heat) and cable management (airflow or lack of).

with mATX there's always going to be a toss-up between silent running and temperature thresholds. In such a small housing two efficient 120mm fans should be able to keep things reasonable in both the temp and decibel ranges.

Lest we forget mATX weren't originally designed for high end processing power i.e. above average heat outputs.

Nevber overclocked so what would ui have to change in the Bios to get it to 3Mhz?
Click to expand...
the FSB and maybe the vcore.. some motherboards have auto vcore, my m2r32-mvp motherboard did have a auto vcore... also u may need to drop your memory speed down one, depending how good your memory is.
