Okay I have read that these things get really hot, so I had ordered an after market cooler in anticipation of the big heat issue. So I chose the Zalman 9500.
Okay I ran two primes for about four hours or so and the system seems rock stable. The temps read around 58C with an occassional spike to 60C, now I usually like to keep my procs at around or lower than 50C. I was told that these Pentium D 800 series run on load on the stock cooler at around 75C under full load and that is acceptable.
So the cooling is 120mm fan intake and exhaust, and a Zalman 9500 HSF. Is the 58C acceptable for these heaters, seeing as how they are 2 prescott cores side by side?
Oh the motherboard is an Intel945PVS, and I'm using their software for temp monitoring purposes for this test bed.
