Do some Intel Core 2 Duo's run hotter than others?

Do some Intel Core 2 Duo's run hotter than others? The reason i ask is that my mate is about to get a Core 2 Duo and my E2180 is a bit hot according to him. He said they are known for this? If that is right, what Core 2 Duo's run cooler at stock speeds and he has to then decide which one to get!!

 

[longshanks]

So, it is not true that some of the Core 2 Duo's run hotter than others?

 

[longshanks]

Right. Any to advoid?

 

[longshanks]

I think £100 is his maximum to be honest. He doesn't overcklock but he may do once i point him to this website!!

 

[longshanks]

How does he know?

He said that he had read that these run hot at stock anyway so he figured mine was running hot!

 

[longshanks]

Maybe leave him to sort out his kit and you can just relax and enjoy your PC, simple

No, i can't do that. We are mates!!

 

[longshanks]

I want to help him out.

The E6750 looks great!! Thanks for all your help guys. I have been asking in the Mobo section for my mate too so looks like it could be:

E6750

GA-P31-DS3L

At 126 its overpriced.

30 more gets you a quad.But we have been on this road before.

I know, but this is not for me and he justs wants a Core2Duo.

 

[longshanks]

Then advise him to go quad.

That cpu just aint worth that moneyimo when there is a G0 cool running quad for so little more

No, i have talked about the quads with him and he doesn't want to get one yet. He has no use for 4 cores and wants to wait until 2009 to get a quad!

 

[longshanks]

I think the E6750 is a G0 core also?

Would that run cooler than a normal dual core?

I would like to know that too.

My E2180 runs quite hot at stock.
