what HS+F for cooling 78WATTS!!

Wheelspinner · Mar 25, 2003

yup my little brick of a CPU is belting out 78W

Is my Volcano 6 adequate?

temps = Idle ~41c , 100% load ~50c (ambient room 22c)

this CPU will be replaced soon (this year or next) but I could go buy a new HS+F in anticipation (volcano 9?)

If your computer isn't freezing, then those temps will work. You may be able to get a higher overclock if you cool it more.

If you are going to upgrade to any of the xp's, they will run cooler than your regular t-bird. I saw a 10 degree temperature drop when I went from 1.4ghz t-bird to xp 1600's.

Currently the best heatsink is the SLK-800, which you can get for 35 dollars at www.svcompucycle.com

Thanks

I think I always knew Tbirds were mini-heaters, good to hear Tbreds aren't

think i might try for one of those funky 1700+ everyone is raving about, and an slk-800, then o/c some more

the SK7 with a 40cfm or 50cfm fan (what i have) should be more than adequate

for my tbred at 2300mhz w/ 1.925v that produces >100watts it is at 50C load

Hehe, my CPU is dumping about 155 watts into my swiftech MCX462+. Talk about serious B.A.D.A.S.S. ...

Load temps of 50C...

I plan to go further. :burn:

I am no longer concerned about 78, lol, seems mild by comparison

and it only peaks at 49c

155 watts? Are you talking about your XP2400+ as the maximum thermal power in one of them is 68.3 watts.

How do you know what watts your cpu is using is the a guide or chart?

OC Detective · Mar 27, 2003

The technical papers over at Amd.com give you the maximum and typical thermal power for all the XP cpus

That would be an excellent combo!

His number does seem high, detective. But amd's maximum is at stock. Overclocking and overvolting will raise thermal output.

OC Detective · Mar 27, 2003

Very true although I think only overvolting will make a difference. Overclocking at stock voltage shouldnt affect maximum thermal output should it? Irrespective of that I dont think it will increase by over twice maximum nominal output.

I use Sisoft Sandra 2003 's burn in wizard

EDIT: oops wrong URL

this is it http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/

pctuner@amd · Mar 27, 2003

Yes the faster a CPU is run at the more thermal output it has, Fatser speeds equal more heat created no matter what the voltage it can be at stock voltage but a 200mhz overclock will raise the temps...

what HS+F for cooling 78WATTS!!
