Hi, im new to this Forum.
I need some advice from other experienced users.
(For my system config see end of my Post)
Just got a new AMD X2 6000+ and an Asus M2N32-Sli Deluxe.
I dont want to OC this thing, its fast enough for me...
I installed a Thermaltake TMG A3 CPU cooler, but temperature
reaches from 44°C (Idle) up to 80°C and higher @ small load.
This cooler doesnt hold down strong enough.
The heatsink can be moved sideways too easy.
So that isnt good, I tried another cooler (Silverstone Nitrogon NT01 V2.0)
with an 80 mm fan.
Yes I know this cooler doesn t fit the AM2 socket but with some modifications
it does very well! lol
So now the temp goes from 42°C (Idle) up to 100°C until emergency shutdown !! ?
Thermalgrease is applied correctly, (credit card method), Its not the first time I do this
I used Arctic Silver 5.
"Core temp" always shows at about 20°C lower temp than BIOS.
Why this ??
Also this tool shows temp changes from 10 °C in under 1 second ??
(Just move a windows window sideways very quick for 1 sec)
I also did a BIOS update to the newest version.
My question:
Which temperature range should be optimal ?
Which temps does other 6000+ owners have ? (idle & load)
Should a 6000+ used with Fan cooler or is it recommendet to use Water cooling for such a CPU ?
Any cooler recommendations ?
Any comments for the "Arctic-Cooling Freezer 64 Pro PWM " ?
Some people say they reach temps under 50°C (6000+) with this thing ??
There are too many coolers avaible, and I dont know which one to choose
who can handle a 6000+.
My System configuration:
Tower: Thermaltake Armor (big version)
MB: ASUS M2N32-SLI-DeLuxe (BIOS updated to the newest version)
CPU: AMD X2 6000+ Brisbane @ 3000MHz
RAM: 2 x 2GB Corsair DDR2 (passive cooled)
GPU: Gigabyte NVidea 6600 GT 128MB (passive cooled)
PSU: 480 W Xilence (just temporary, will be replaced soon)
OS: Win XP Pro SP2
Front end of the tower is completly "open" (with grill)
an 120mm fan is installed behind the "grill-front"
Rear end has one 80mm fan and another 120mm fan.
-> Blow out.
Thanks for your Help and advice !
