I kind of like this new driver for the amdX2/64/3800

Pros: ALRIGHT!!! check this out!! I'm running a 3800+ at 2500 mhz 250x10. with 1.4 voltage. This cools it at idle after running memtest+prime at same time to 32. MAX WAS 46!!!!!! after an hour of 100% dual core cpu usage! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! =D and ofcourse a rice grain of arvtic silver 5 =) actually it just dropped to 31 while writing this!

what is that for a statement?

before: 46
now: 32

total nonsense; either no c&q before or a crappy setup
you dont expect a c&q driver to drop the temp by 14° do you??

[Chewy]

that was a personal joke for anony about his hot cpu
here's the driver that would drop cpu temp 14C


translated means use hardware not software to keep cool and quiet

[UncasMS]

oh ok ^_~

sorry, didnt get that one at all


c&q is a good technology, though

[anonymez]

lol who says my cpu is hot? i've now got it at 24c idle and 41 max

edit: 42c max

[Chewy]

cooler weather. better cpu fan/heatsink?
It was running 50

[anonymez]

it was running 46-47 after my case & cooling upgrade (on mildly hot day). since then i've applied better thermal compound & bought a new desk, the compartment has much needed ventilation

not so hot today, maybe 26c

[Chewy]

ambient 21 cpu idle 27 full load 5 minutes 38 OC 40%

I 've heard good things about Thermaltake Big Typhoon or is there a better one I am just curious because in another week or so I will ordering my Computer with a Pentium D

My buddy picked up one refurbed, he asked me to mount it, I held it up where it would go, saw it would hit the power supply, you have to bolt a large
plate to back of motherboard, they are huge/heavy monsters. It's been looking at him for 6 months now, very expensive paper weight!

This thing is about 5.5x5.5x6.5 inches

Have these drivers actually made a difference? I am still using the previous ones.

[UncasMS]

no, that's exactly the reason why i posted in this thread as some "statements" were quite misleading

[nwg]

no, that's exactly the reason why i posted in this thread as some "statements" were quite misleading

Then I will stick with the other version unless something changes.
