OPTI 170 @ 2.8 Temps

[mattup]

I am currently running an OPTI 170 @ 2.8Ghz. It is rock steady at stock volts. Cooling it at present is a Zalman 9500led. Idle is 40C and full load both cores is 58c. This is my first dual core cpu so I am not used to these temps.

Can other 165/170 users post their speeds/temps and cooling methods please.

Thanks for the reply. The cooler is seated with AS5. I read the AS instructions on how to apply and did as directed. I then considered that a dual core CPU needs a larger area of AS5 so I removed the cooler and added some to the other areas of the IHS and reseated the cooler. Temps dropped a bit to where they are now. Yes 1.35v guess I've got a good chip.

I wonder if its worth removing the cooler cleaning and re applying AS5?

I have good case cooling with 2 x 120 ambers pull/push combo in my Eclipse 62 case.

Thanks again.

Matt
