What Is The Best Socket 939 Cooler

Gonna Be Overclocking With It.

Thanks

I had great results with the Thermaltake Big Typhoon. It was lapped and got my Opteron 165 to 3ghz (1.8ghz stock) at around 62 degrees C under 100% (priority 9/small fft's) Orthos load. Awesome. :eek:

The Scythe Ninja was also good!

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I always thought it was best to keep the 165 under 55 degrees. I have mine currently overclocked to 2.7Ghz and stopped there because it reached 54 degrees on load :confused:

I am using the Arctic Cooler by the way

I don't think the stock cooler is too bad. I've had my new Opteron 180 up to 2.8ghz and using Orthos, it only reaches around 52/53C.

I'd say that 60c is ok and after all, this is probably the max temp you're going to see whilst running Prime/Orthos, it's unlikely that your CPU will ever be as stressed/hot whilst doing day-to-day things like gaming.

As far as the AF64 Pro goes, it starts to get rather heat saturated, especially once you start cranking up the vcore but you could always swap the 92mm fan for a more powerful 120mm fan to compensate,

Hi Danger,

Mine was always fine. Some steppings of the 165 ran hot regardless. At stock mine was still toasty.

It was one of the better 165 steppings so i threw caution to the wind - plus i'd seen other X2 users running near and over 70c with no issues.

You'll be A-OK up to 60c - after that is your own risk but i'd think you'd be fine. What program are you using to load the chip? Orthos at a high priority and using the small fft's test seemed to generate the most heat IMO.

I always have liked the tuniq tower.

I have a zalman 9500nt very nice keeps my 3800+ @ 2.9ghz @ 43c load.

I have the best stepping available for overclocking (did a little research before I bought it). Yeah, I use Orthos at high priority... got bored after running it for 45 mins though, lol!

May increase the clock to 2.8Ghz when I get the time then.

I haven't touched the vcore yet though

Wen i was with socket 939 i had the 3500+ running at 2.8ghz on tuniq with 50c full load i loved amd temps were so good.
