I am curious what temps people are getting with the 2500 Bartons...

I am having serious heat issues with this chip at 2Ghz and 1.7 volts using a Volcano9 heatsink running a YS Tech 70mm 5600rpm TMD fan...this setup ran my AthlonXP 2400 up to 2.2 Ghz and never went past 45c @ 1.75v under load.
On the Barton 2500 the same HSF setup is idling at 42c and goes past 50c sometimes under load. This is with my office airconditioned to 74 degrees...if I open the windows it runs easily to 55c under load....:mad: I cant even match the speed of my 2400 at these temps the chip is unstable :bang head

Whats everyone using for cooling and what are your temps under load ? Are these chips just plain hot ? :bang head
 
It's not a 2500+ but
2100+ AIUHB 0248
256MB Crucial PC2100 + 2x 256MB Kingston (Hynix chip) PC2100 @ 6 3 3 2
[152] FSB x 15 = 2280 MHz @ 1.8 Vcore with memory frequency at 100% [152] @ 2.77 Vdimm
37(min) C to 46(max) C Winter ; 42(min) C to 50(max) C Summer
Epox 8RDA+
Thermalright SK-7 with variable speed 80x25mm YS-Tech

BFG GeForce4 Ti4200 8X 128MB; Antec SX-835II case ; 350W Antec SmartPower

I'm @ 2.1 with my Barton
Heatsink= SLK800A with TT SF II and AS3
Stock Vcore and stock timings.
Temp: 36-38c IDLE 44-46c LOAD
 
idle, between 32-39, load between 45-50 (depending on the time of day and room temp, AC set at 80).

SLK800a (lapped), AS3
 
2500 Barton AQXEA stepping

idle, between 33-40, load between 45-49

TT Volcano 7+, AS3

Memory at 2.8v, 6-3-3-2
CPU at 1.7v
VDD at 1.6v
 
It would seem that the Bartons should run a little cooler, since they have a larger die surface area to dissipate the heat, assuming vcore is equal.

Agreed, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I have not had heat issues like this with an AMD processor since I was running my AXIA Thunderbird 1Ghz OC'd to 1.4
I have to say that so far the Barton 2500 has been disappointing to me compaired to my XP 2400 as far as OCing ability and heat.

I'm pleased with the OC'g ability, but I have to agree with you on the heat problem. It seems to heat up very easily.
 
2500+ AQXEA @ 2.4ghz (12.5 x 192)
runs @ 1.9v stable, but 1.925 to be sure.
Swiftech mcx462+ Vantec tornado (80mm)

Idle - 32c
Load - 36c

(cold basement + a/c = good for overclocking)

Ram limited @ 192, and cant go over 12.5, will do more....
 
Right now, at 2.33GHz, I've got 31C CPU temp and 15C system. Vcore is 1.7. Heatsink is an SLK800a with an 80mm Tornado.
