Hello, and Welcome to the Fourms ! :D

It sounds like your right about the "norm" for temps.
I run about those same temps, and my Volts are 1.81v to the core.

What is a "Normal" cpu cooler? Or do you mean You are using the factory HSF setup? Almost anything is better than the factory stuff. ;)

Please check the front page for accurate HSF recomendations.
Almost all the companies sell thier stuff online too.

Good Luck.

:cool:

For heatsink/fan combo's at a decent price...

Millenium Glaciator II (this one is really good)
Dragon Orb 3 (huge, cool-looking)
Volcano 6cu or Volcano 7 (but the V7 requires a simple modification to work well)

These are not the very best, but they're up there. They all sell for around $25-$30 US dollars. You can order these online, although I'm not sure of any dealers near you, so the shipping costs may be high.

Also, get some good thermal paste/adhesive to use when putting on your new heatsink. Artic Silver II is highly recommended.

A lot depends upon where you want to take that 1600. I just got one of the AGNGA "Y" Green ones this past Sunday. I unlocked it yesterday and this is what it can do with simple water cooling:

10.5x155 @ 1.625V (1631 Mhz) 28C running Prime 95 torture
11.0x155 @ 1.700V (1709 Mhz) 30C running Prime 95 Torture
11.5x155 @ 1.825V (1786 Mhz) 33C running Prime 95 Torture
12.0x150 @ 1.900V (1807 Mhz) 36C running Prime 95 Torture
12.0x155 @ ??? Haven't implemented Core Voltage Mod yet, but looks do-able.

Oke stupid question but i am gona ask it anyway! what does AGNGA ''Y'' Mean??

AGNGA "Y" is the stepping code. It's on the top of the core. 2nd line down from the AMD Athlon line. Yours may be different. I think two more are AGKGA (mine) and AGOGA. I know with the TBird's different steppings were better overclockers. Not sure on the XP's yet though, the're kinda new

With a high-quality air-cooled heatsink, you should expect to get close to 1600 or maybe higher.
