Right now mine:

Opteron 175
OC to 2750 (250x11)
1.6v

Cooled with:
Thermaltake Fanless-103 (with 3" and 3.5" case fans)
Arctic Alumina

Idles at:
Core 0: 33-35C
Core 1: 29-32C

Loads with Orthos at:
Core 0: 60-62C
Core 1: 64-66C

Temps were taken with Core Temp Beta 0.94 at 5 1/2 minutes of Orthos.

Do my load temps seem kinda high?
Is it weird that Core 1 idles lower but loads higher?
 
. My 3800+@2.65ghz@1.5V was 50 and 52deg loaded with a modded 4 heatpipe (stock) cooler running at 62%. I would either put a fan on the cooler or make a duct from the rear fan to the cooler to increase airflow
 
Mine is a 6-heatpipe cooler... Thermaltake Fanless-103 (I added 2 case fans to the cooler.. generic 3" and Zalman 3.5").

If I use a Dell fan (modded to run at 100%), I can drop the temps by about 3C... sounds like a hoover vacuum cleaner though. And that is my lower power spare fan... the Dell 8400fan I have will hover off the ground if I mod it to run at 100% and it is way louder than the other Dell fan I have. They do put out a lot more air than the fans I am running now.

The thing I don't get is that the air coming off the heatsink fins is barely warm.... the base of the cooler is cold... the heatpipes get a little warm, etc... And I know it is seated properly.

I have plenty of air flow through the case also.. air coming from the exhaust fans is cold.

It seems like it should run cooler than it is.

Does the IHS inhibit the heat transfer a lot?
 
Your temps seem on the high side to me.

With my AM2 X2 3800+ 89W version OC'd to 2.7GHz, I can get 26C idle and 44C load (higher temp core, the other core is usually 3-6C lower) with Orthos. This is with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro which has 3 heatpipes (bent into a "U", so some say it has 6) with the fan on max (2800rpm).
 
i use a/c freezer 64 pro...3800x2@2.4 1.35v idle 33c 55c (5 minutes orthos)core1 idle 32c 47c(5 minutes orthos) core0
 
3500+ at 2.4, 1.425 V under a scythe mine=35 load right now, but my windows open, so about 40.
 
3.4 with Vcore 1.400..using a Zalman 9700LED, with super thermal grease from Zalman

Orthos CPU stress test LOAD 55C...after some hours of stress testing. (TAT)

I have lowered the Vcore a little...7 hours stable, with 55C...not a C higher !!!!

X2 4200 @ 2420MHz, stock aluminum HSF. Tested 17 hours by Orthos, Load temp was 54c, normal idle temp is 29c.

I just put better HSF on order at newegg, hopefully my load temps will be in the 40's.
 
Been running Orthos for 30 minutes. Load temp is 65c (with case cover open). Stock heatsink. Pentium D 2.8 GHz to 3.2 GHz. 1.2v. Asus P5B.

This was with the volts lowered to 1.18 in crystal cpuid in a fairly cold room, fans all at or under 1000rpm:


Normally about 49-50c load running orthos, using a freezer 7 prow ith a 120mm fan on it (850rpm)
 
my Athlon X2 4200+ idles around 30 and under load, i had it running for a day it never hit passed 44c with my zalman 9500
 
My 170 at 1.36v only idles at 28-29 and tops out at 45 after a day of folding on both cores. That is with my 9700 at about 1700 rpm. I can still crank it up if need be.
 
My E6600 at stock speeds (2.4ghz) idles at 29c and loaded 40c (Orthos during stress testing 2hrs+). Thats with a Tuniq Tower 120 (lapped). I'm hoping to keep my loaded temps under 55c after I start OC'ing. I'm going to try a modest OC around 3.2-3.4 so I think thats a realistic goal.

To OP your loaded temps do seem a bit high. I honestly don't like the IHS design at all. It serves to create a little pressure cooker especially if the IHS doesn't contact the chip very well. And we've all seen how the top outside surface can tend to be concave so that serves to create even more issues. Mine seems to contact ok so I dont think I'll lap it.
 
Well, I might be having rad problems in my water system (I can't feel any air coming out the back of it, even with the Panaflow at 100%...), but here's my temps:

AMD Opteron 170 @ 2800 MHz, 1.55v

Idle Speedfan "Core" temps: 22-27 degrees C
Load (10 minutes of ORTHOS) Speedfan "Core" temps: 50-52 degrees C

I was a bit concerned that those load temps were high, but after seeing the OP's temps I'm not too concerned anymore :p

P.S. the different core temps are nothing to worry about, hell my cores require completely different voltages at high clock speeds (one only needs c. 1.4 but the other needs 1.55-1.6!). Because it has two cores (basically two CPUz sandwiched on one chip), you get differences like they were two different CPUs.
 
e6400 OC'ed to 3.2GHz idles around 40-43C and gets up to about 55C under orthos testing. I need to drop the voltage down a bit - it was high for testing purposes - so that will hopefully drop the temps a degree or two. This is under a Tuniq Tower 120 by the way.
 
OP,

Your temps are high because 1.6v is a lot of voltage to be putting into an Opteron 175 on air cooling. If your CPU takes 1.6v to be stable, you need to seriously consider backing off a bit until you're stable at 1.5v or less.

My setup is:

Opteron 170
OC to 2800 (280x10)
1.40v
(have not tested faster yet)

Cooled with:
Tuniq Tower 120 w/ stock fan @ 1500rpm
AS5

From CoreTemp 0.94...

Idles at:
Core 0: 27-31C
Core 1: 32-35C

Loads with Orthos (blend) at:
Core 0: 44-49C
Core 1: 51-55C

See system spec in sig for rest of components.
 
3006 334*9 @ 1.45vcore idle 31*C core1 42*C core2 load 52*C core1 53*C core2

this is on good WC.... DD TDX, BIP 240 + BIP120 sythe 60cfm fans, Maze4, AC chipset fan, Laing DCC plus w/ modded top....

I know that DC run warm and my opteron is much hotter than my X2 3800 i had.. also you are giving it a lot of volts for a DC.... single core 3000+ venice you could through 1.65vcore and keep it under 55*C no problem but a DC over 2.7ghz with more voltage is just too much heat dump for your HSF...
 
Hey guys, i have a Core2Duo E6700, currently @ 3.4ghz up from stock 2.66ghz @1.40 voltage...I am getting ~62-65 while playing World of Warcraft and having firefox / Ventrilo / Core Temp open. Is this normal? I get ~30 while idle though.
 
Actually.. I think maybe my TT heatpipe cooler (Fanless 103) is just not any better than the big stock AMD 4 heatpipe heatsink.... I actually switched over to that and modded the cheezy 70mm fan to run at full speed and then set up the bios to control between 8v and 12v.... it runs the same exact temps as my fanless 103 with two fans.

The freaky thing with the fanless 103 was that the air from the fans would only be warm at about the 25% of the fan that was closest to the base of the heatsink.. the rest of the air was cold... I think either the IHS has horrid contact with the cpu core.. or I just need a better cooler.

Hehe.. I also tried my Dell 150cfm fan on the stock AMD cooler and it brought load temps down to 61-62 on the hot core.

I'm planning on getting the Thermaltake Big Typhoon so I can actually bring the temps down a lot. And, yes, I will be using a much higher cfm fan with it also.... and from the looks of it.. I could stick a small fan under the fins to help pull more air through the heatsink.
 
Opteron 175, 1.55v, 2.6ghz, Tuniq Tower @ 1700rpm - 40c

In a P180 with the top fan on high and the rear fan at low (CPU socket is oriented so that the Tuniq has to blow upwards)...

It can go over 45c if the room is warmer, or the GPUs are kicking out some heat. Think I might put an intake fan in the front.

Well, got my new Gigabyte G Power Lite tonight (only 28$ shipped on newegg), my room is probably a few degree's cooler than the last time. 9*F outside!

I installed it and at idle i had about 26C, and now running a half hour on orthos my load is at 40c! I didn't lap the HSF or anything, nice temps and the paste has not even settled in yet!!!!

* note that i was using stock cooler with Thermaltakes generic white paste, this time i'm using gigabytes generic white paste (I have AS5 but don't like it).
 
59C tops in Orthos. 37C Idle.

My front fan is only turning at 500 rpm for some reason...even when plugged straight into the power supply. I'll have to get it exchanged.

Is 57 too high? Can this cause damage? I have my CPU fan under the BIOS control and it doesn't seem to ramp it to full speed even with these high temps.

your temp is safe.
 
170 @ 2.85 1.4v idle 30 and 33, load 52 and 53 AC64pro. Got the Tuniq and now 22 and 25 idle, 43 and 45 load. 8 hours orthos.
 
low 30's idle, high 40's orthos load. opteron 165 @ 2.6, stock vcore, ac64 pro cooler.
 
Low 30's... 31-32c idle. Full load under Orthos give me about 55-60c though... a little warm for my taste...

2.6ghz w/1.4vcore
 
Opteron 170 (305 x10)
1.5v

Idle
Core 0 = 28-30
Core 1 = 29-32

Load
Core 0 = 39-43
Core 1 = 40-45

Coretemp .94, Orthos load temp @ 10+ hours
