Phenom Temps

[aaronearles]

What kind of temps are you guys getting for phenom I overclocks, I'm curious if 62C (full load) is too hot for regular use. It idles at about 40C and it's been running 4 threads of Prime95-64bit for about an hour, hasnt gone above 62C.

The chip is a 9650 @ 2.6GHz 1.20V (manual in bios) but AMD OD says its running at 1.26

Stock cooler for now.

Idle is 29C running World Community Grid all night all 4 cores at max 50-52C. Every app I try gives me a different volt. In BIOS it is set at 1.31.

my 9950 @ 3Ghz using stock volts sees around 40c idle and upwards of 65-70 under full stress load (4 cores maxed with prime 95 or intel burn in.) in the worst ambient conditions.

Its usually around 32c idle, 55-60 load. My case cooling isnt very good though (120mm fan in PSU, 2 80mm fans.. one intake, one exhaust)

I think the stock HSF is fine for awhile, i just cant figure out the BIOS settings to allow my fan to actually spin faster then 3000 rpm when the temps start rising. And I know it can go up to 5-6k because i've seen it do it before trying to figure out all the PWM values.
