Which is cooler?

Skiing Squirrel · May 19, 2004

Im building my mom a computer and need a near silent (small fan) computer. Which is going to be running cooler. 1700+ tbred, or 1.8 duron. Or 2500+ mobile? Thanks. The stock 1700 keeps overheating and its one of those small form factor cases with a crappy heatsink... I've done all I can to improve the cooling too.

i would say a 2500 mobile since you can underclock to make it run cooler

A mobile chip will be able to withstand much higher temps than conventional chip and still run stable, after all that's what laptops are....Heat pads for your lap

How about a mobile T-Bred? Those would run a little cooler than mobile Bartons and are close to half the price.

Now that's using your brain Gautam

Werd. Thanks guys.

Either a duron or a mobile will run coolest. Why not duct a larger fan to the heatsink though? Even in a SMF case, 60<80 wouldnt be hard.

The mobile may run cooler with undervolted and underclocked specs.

But I doubt it'd run much cooler, probably about on-par or a few degress differences with the 1700+. As long as it's a tbred b.

I'd bet the duron would run hot, being cheaply made. Or more sensitive to warmer temperatures.

Up to you, all I'm saying is it might make more sense to save money and buy a tbred.

Performance would be better on the mobile for sure.

Default voltage on a duron is 1.5v. With an sk-7 and good case airflow(no cpu hsf) I get 36c load in my 2nd rig. Less cache=less voltage used.

The durons have always run hot (not as hot as the old T-Birds), but I'd go for the T-Bred 1700+. Being that they are 0.13m, they don't have to run as hot as the older models, not to mention that the 2500+ mobile is a barton with a 0.18m (or is there a T-Bred 2500+?).

no the mobile 2500+ is a barton but could get a mobile 2200+ which is a t-bred B and mobile so it should run cooler like Gautam said.
