Sorry for being noob but what do u mean when its idle and when its full load?

Thanx alot...

Not sure how to push my proc to run at 100% though..

Anyway, i am using AMD64 3000+ venice with Zalman Fatal1ty Cpu Cooler and my idle temp is about 30c...

lol..went to check about cpuburn website and saw a big warning sign out there..Instead, i just leave it as it should be..Sounds scary..lol...

I am wondering, i am currently using the Zalman Fatal1ty CPU cooler.I will be getting my hands on the AMD Opteron 165 very soon.Would the stock Opteron cooler be able to perform better than my Fatal1ty?Cause the Opteron cooler do have heatpipes while my Zalman doesnt...

lol..i believe you are right.Anyway, the Stock AMD Opteron cooler looks cool..Too cool to be sold away..Anyway, would the fatal1ty perform better than the stock cooler even without heatpipe?

Well, if i get my hands on the Opty soon, i will definitely test it to see how good it can performs..Cause i really need to know whether the Zalman will work better or not.And since the Opty Stock HSF is quite looking as well, i might opt for the stock rather than the Zalman...

Well, not really.I have tested the Fatal1ty and the CNPS 9200 and both works fine.Silent and have quite impressive performance i must say.Never tested other HSF though...Anyway, the Zalman is famous for silent cooling so i dont think noise will be a problem there...

Do you think we can change the stock delta fan on the Stock HSF?Cause i think it might make alot of sound.Tested at 40db at the review..I think changing it to something like Silverstone would really give better performance for a much lower sound.Would it?

lol..i am starting to get impressed by the stock AMD cooling in getting the job done, getting on par with the thermal right...lol..

Anyone here tried Silverstone HSF particularly the NT-06?How good is it?Cause i have seen it yesterday in LYP and it does look really nice to me.Too bad the price is kinda high at RM199 or else i would have gotten it...

Is there any special way to test idle and full load temperature?Is there any links to any program that i can test my current stock TIM and coming soon AS5..

Not all casing fan shoot air to the outsite.IIRC the front fans suck air in while the back ones suck air out of the case...Not that sure about the top and side ones...

Can someone teach me how to make my proc full load so i could check the temperature?Is starting a game enough to make it full load?My proc temp when my pc start is at 26c...

Thats what shocked me when i got my Athlon64 3000+ venice using Zalman Fatal1ty CPU cooler...Using stock AMD cooler was at 29c.

Was idle supposed to be right when we switch on the PC or when we on our PC for some time first and check the temperature when nothing is loading?

Ok..thanks for your info.Mine didnt do any OC so it is at stock Vcore and clock speed..The temperature was the same when i checked using BIOS and PC Wizard.

Thanks for the info.I am downloading Prime Orthos and sp2004 right now.Will do some testing later...Hopefully, i will be able to get my hands on my stock Opteron cooler and Silverstone NT06 soon and test them as well..lol..

Currently running Opteron 165 at stock speed with Zalman Fatal1ty and unbranded Silver TIM - 34c (idle)

Will switch over to AMD Stock Cooler later as i do not have the bracket with me..as well as using AS5.

Would mobo be able to affect the temperature of a processor using air cooling?

I am currently running the Opty 165 on Fatal1ty, acheiving about 33c on idle using Gigabyte K8N-SLI.

Another system, also running on Opty 165 on stock Opteron heatsink,acheiving about 30c on idle using DFI Lanparty Venus

Both on same type of TIM.If motherboard would not be in any sense affecting the temperature of a processor, this means that the Stock Opteron Heatsink is definitely better than the Fatal1ty.

Will test again using stock heatsink on the gigabyte mobo, and using CNPS9500 on the DFI mobo...

I for 1 never OCed my Athlon 3000+ venice E6 before...lol...Not i dont want to but no idea on how to do it.Now, its inside the box as i am using my Opty.In the process of learning how to OC it at last...Hopefully i could get some good result...lol..

lol...In the process of learning.I am an absolute n00b in term of OC..Anyway, can i use the Opty stock cooler for my Athlon 3000 as well?Time to let go of my Fatal1ty and use the stock cooler.Doing it next week.And if the result is not satisfactory, might get myself another cooler as in the NT06 as well...

Well, i like my Fatal1ty.It aint that noisy personally for me.You can only hear some sound when you opened up the side panel and stuck your ear near the cooler..Performance is ok, not the best.But the problem is, its clashing with my ram slots.I am unable to use slot1&2 due to the fatal1ty clashing with my Corsair with LED.

Anyway, i am pretty much sure my stock opty cooler beat the hell out of my fatal1ty.And the NT06 caught my eye the first time i see it.Absolute beauty...Not really keen on TT or Noctua though although the performance is really good...
