Just wanna know the idle temperatures for those using old skool socket 754 athlon or sempron processors... with AIR COOLING only, how much is your idle temperatures.

If you've got a good heatsink/CPU cooler to recommend for this socket, please do share with us

*edit*

Remember, AIR COOLING only! For those who are using watercooling or other super duper high end method of cooling and accidently voted, then please confess by posting what cooler you are using and your temperatures. I wanna make sure those who get >34 degrees are genuine air cooling.

Actually was looking for Athlon users but thanks for reporting in! At least we know how are socket 754 owners doing. The one big problem I'm facing now is that no matter how I try, the temperatures always seem high. I guess its the heat problem with s754 procs?

Gosh.. even sempron also has this heating up problem? Btw eduwave... you're using stock cooler or aftermarket ones?

Yes I know socket 939 has so much headroom to overclock.... but thats not what we're here for. I just want to know what is the temperatures that everyone who uses aftermarket or stock cooling for socket 754 is getting.

There are hundreds of socket 754 users in the forum. I just need a fraction of them to vote in here... why do we need to close this thread?

I've got 50 votes already then I'll know the limitation of socket 754. So then I know that buying an even more powerful/expensive heatsink won't solve the problem of heat...

Well, then it is the good courtesy of the cooling and hard modding guys to keep this thread alive..

Gosh... those who have 34 degrees and below, what cooler you guys use? Please don't tell me the watercooling gang came and vote

Arctic Silver won't let you drop 10 degrees wor...
