I'm gonna set up another system and would like to know if the Durons run hotter, cooler or the same as a t-bird. I know my Xp1700+ is runs cooler than my old t-bird?
If I o/c the duron, it would only be by increasing it's fsb through the bios. Or I might not o/c. it all depends.
I don't want to have to listen to a noisy HSF is possible.
 
At the same speeds I don't thnk there is any difference in heat output/mm2. The problem is that the Duron technically is harder to cool because it has a smaller footprint but I don't think that has been proven at all. If you have a rated cooler it should not have problems with either of them.
 
T-Birds run hotter

My experience leads me to believe TBs definitely run hotter than Durons. Don't Durons require less voltage at factory speeds?

I'm always careful about having quality cooling for TBs but Durons let me ease up a bit. Same goes for XPs. You can get away with using the stock hsfs that come with an XP but you could never use those things to cool a TB.

Am I wrong?
 
i've got an xp and a duron. both @ 1.85 vcore, full load temp on 1800xp is 45c at ambient temps of 27. Full load on duron is 40-41c at ambient temps of 27.

Its hard to say since both have diff. hsf's, duron has acIII and xp has acII. Different cases and different fan locations too.

fsb on 1800xp is 145 and duron is 112 fsb. That could be reason why the xp is running slightly hotter.
 
XP is a whole diff story...

XPs run as cool as Durons if not cooler. Never disputed that. The hot ones are the Athlons over 1Ghz.
 
My 850 duron (1.64vcore stock) runs at about -5 (-30 ambient) and the Tbird 1GHz runs 8 (-30 ambient) while folding 24/7.
 
I think the T-Bird put out more heat (Especially the 1gig+), the other Duron don't have the 266fsb, and no matter how high you pump the vcore their still cool.

The 1.4 Tbird runs the hottest!

i agree too and especially if you have a thunderbird 1 gighz overclock too 1.4gighz
it's very hot
 
I was always led to believe that the spitfire durons were harder to cool than the thunderbirds due to the fact that they had a smaller core size and as such heat was dissipated slower, I could be wrong though :)
