Im just having a look in cpu-z and on motherboard and its saying my tock volts are 1.36v, then its got ldt voltage on mbm5 as 1.17v then chipset volt 1.49v. Would this be correct (all settings as stock) also what voltages should the 146 opteron take at stock??
Opteron 146 Voltages

Those are all right, stock CPU volts are 1.4V but CPU-Z always undreads slightly with these chips.
That's about right, although myself and others are getting lower temps, like 27°C idle and about 36 °C full load.
Your temps are not really gonna hurt anything but if/when you start overclocking that chip you *may* find you can't clock it as far.
What motherboard are u using?

that seems a little high especially if its at stock. what case are you using? i would put the fan in if i were you to help lower the temps, as big wayne says, if you plan to oc and up the volts, the temps will get worse.
Got a chenbro gaming bomb - taken all the plastic off the side, got a 60mm fan on the side, 120mm fan underneath and another 60mm fan at the back, blowing air out the back of the case. Ive overclocked it a whopping 100mhz so far lol. Still showing about 32C idle, was about 30C when windows started up. Shame i cant get the gfx card working in the lower slot atm as thats what I think is causing the problem.

Sorry to be a nitpicker, but that case is borderline and as for 60mm fans, ezee now!
I have never used CPU-z to give me voltage readings, instead grab yourself a copy of MBM5 v370. Motherboard monitor is a legendary piece of monitoring software, but sadly now is no longer being updated, however it will still work fine on your system but you will need to track down some customised files or have a fiddle (<< sounds rude
)Ive checked with mbm5 and its the same, as for the case - its just a case and im happy with it (altho the front is plasic and a bit tacy lol), with the fans I prefer a small, affective amount, while performing good but not wanting to make it sound like a small hoover

Almost identical temps then. Between 8-10C over idle. Since neither of you quote your room temps, neither of you have any ability to judge if Maxx1984's case is cooling well or terribly.
<rant>Every thread that mentions temperatures on every computer forum is 100-1 on to be complete testicles.</rant>
Shame I cant measure my tempreture without going out and getting a thermometer (excuse the spelling if its wrong) I can only guess room temp here is in the high twenties, however the pc case is 2 meters away from a radiator, which is on now but wasnt earlier and the temps are still the same. Im at about 33C idle atm - clocked at 2200mhz currently

Are you aware that you will need to set the jumpers on the m/board to sli mode to use your graphics card in the bottom slot. This should solve your graphics problem.
