Could a Duron 1.1 @ stock everything run folding@home with the stock heatsink without a problem?

Yes, I believe so. I have three 1.2 Durons @ stock speed running F@H with the hsf that came with them with no problem. Of course, 2 of them are not in cases. But, if your case has good air flow, no prob. Keep an eye on it at first, though, with MBM.ThePunkGeek said:Could a Duron 1.1 @ stock everything run folding@home with the stock heatsink without a problem?
I have several that have been running at full load for months.esit said:BTW, they also told me that running your CPU full load at such long hours is fine with the CPU as long as it doesn't overheat (and if it's not overclocked). I thought I'd add this in just in case someone is wondering about this.
esit said:I actually e-mailed AMD asking them a similar question to this, and they told me that as long as I have proper case cooling (one intake in the front and one exhaust at the back), I should be fine. They didn't mention about the stock HSF, so I assume that if AMD included it with its retail package, its designed to handle such heat. But this is assuming that you run your PC at stock.

I never said they were not cheesy!!! They are about the absolute minimum you can get away with.Breadfan said:Actually, the AMD retail sink is pretty cheesy

Actually, the AMD retail sink is pretty cheesy...just look above!! I'm sure you can get away with it though, just make sure case cooling is adequate. If you can afford it, I'd look into getting something like a speeze superrock...much much better cooling, not too loud at all, and only abouy $7.50. Thats money well spent.
Regardless though, it should get the job done, but in a hot manner...
