I just replaced my unlocked x2, which was running with all 4 cores at 3.8 GHz stable with one of the Tiger Direct T1100s. Currently I am using the stock heat sink (albeit with AS instead of the heat pad), which is way nicer (copper heatpipe model) than the one that came with the X2 and it is not overclocked and turbo is turned off. I am running rosetta so it is pretty much at full load but the temps are @ 54C - about 8C higher than my X2 with four cores at the same clock speed - I briefly o/ced it (accidentally actually) to 3.9 but temps shot up into the low 60s before I backed off. I have a better heatsink in the Corsair A70 and will probably mount that over the weekend, but I am just curious if 54C in a 65F room is a about normal or if this chip is runing too hot?
