Dual-Core Cooling Advice

[Agent WD40]

Hi Guys,

As the title suggests I currenly have a dual core opteron 170 (as per my sig) and I am using a ThermalTake Silent Tower to cool her down but I still fell that it could be doing a better job, and yes i'm using AS5.

I was wondering if you could advise a better CPU cooler for my CPU?

I've been priming both cored for 8 hours now and its fairly consistant @ 52C.

Also, watercooling isn't an option. Maybe over the summer of before i27...

whats this prime thing... how do you work it to actually do anything.. and how long do you leave it on for..

im a proper n00b at this prime thing as ive never bothered with it... i just do the stress test with SysTool.

The below guide should highlight what Priming is and so on...

I've been running both Cores Flatout for the past 8 hours and it is a little warm. I think if I go for water I will for for the swiftech 220, as this has had some extremely good reviews but I need a good air cooler for the time being!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi m8...I've just stuck a Thermaltake Big Typhoon on my Opteron 170, with a PanaFlo M1A fan......currently running P95, dual instances at 2.8Ghz/1.375v

I like the setup...

But I dont see the PanaFlo fans on the OcUK webby.

Should I go for the "Delta 120mm Focussed Flow Fan" or will that just be too loud?
