Barton 2500, new HSF, temp results here!

[Jadow]

I had a barton 2500 (running at 1900 mhz) with the retail HSF (4400rpm fan).

after 5 minutes of idle time (windows desktop) the temp was 50.5C
after 10 minutes of Prime95 temp was 66C

I got a new Thermalright SLK-7, some AS3, and a Thermaltake 80mm, 3000rpm fan.

after 5 minutes idle time: temp was 38.5C
after 10 minutes of Prime95 temp was 50.5C

I lost 12 degrees C from idle, and 16 degrees under load! This exceeds my wildest dreams, and the 43 bucks I spent for the cooling gear was money well spent!

Yeah, I am an avid Thermalright user, to me they make the best HS solutions.

I have the SLK-800 with the same CPU. I'm running the 2500 at 2.4 gigs and it idles at about 43-44 C and load is about 47-48C.

I was impressed at the temps as well.

Looks like you have a lil more head room to overclock, if you have a good board and some nice mem you should be able to get that 2500 well past 1.9gigs.


Thermalright has my vote!

yeah, 1.9 was just a nice safe number I was using till I got the new HSF. running at 2200 right now.

Awesome. Thats the heatsink I just bought with my Xp2500. They should be here next week. What multiplier/fsb speed are you running?

Im running it now at 218x11 but it doesnt pass prime95, however I dont really go by prime as I seem to be able to run games and all other apps with no issues. Still testing it out thought.

I think I might need do to the pencil vdd voltage mod on my Abit NF7-s rev 2.0 to get much more FSB unless my ram is holding be back which it shouldn't be.


You should be able to get that 2500 up pretty high as long as the board and mem can keep up, your HS will come in handy when O/Cing!


Check my gear for all my other spec, looks like we have some similiar stuff so if you guys needs any of my results for reference just let me know, I'm usually around. I just put the board in this weeks so I'm still tweaking.


Also I read another thread about the Ceramique, made by Artic Silver, I hear that it works a lil better then the AS3, which is what I'm using now, that could allow your temps to go even lower (not sure how much, Artic Silver says 2-10C, hmmmmm?). I think I'm gonna get some and check it out, still waiting for some replys on that thread for others results.

 

[Hanzou]

what kind of memory are you running?

I'm using the SLK900u on my 2500 (running 2.2ghz --> 11x200). Its running 47C idle, 52.5C full load

SK-7 with 70mm 4500 RPM fan... 38 C idle right now, goes up to about 46 in Prime 95... XP2500 @ 2.2 Ghz on 1.750 volts

I have my barton 2500+ running at 2217MHz with an Alpha 8045 and Vantec Stealth fan, its 45 idle and 54 under full load.

Running a Barton 2500+ @ 12x195FSB (2.340Ghz) with a Volcano 11 (temp sensor attached) and AS3. I use a 120mm case fan on the left case panel blowing air in, and a regular 80mm case fan out, and a dual fan power supply.

System temp ~ 28C
CPU Temp at idle ~ 35C
CPU Temp at full load (Prime 95 Torture Test after 30 minutes + UT2k3 Hard OCP benchmark test running) ~ 45C

I was a little worried about the Volcano 11's cooling, since it doesn't rate quite as well as the SLK's, but went with it because it was a little less. Very pleased with the results I've gotten so far though.
