I'm talking about X2 3800+:
See here:
AMD new proc pricing
And here:
Proc comparison
Even these two are a bit confusing as processor comparison pages don't list any socket 939 65W parts while the first one clearly shows that only 65W variant is still available.
So I go ahead and order one 3800+ X2 specifically requesting a 65W part. The rep assures me I got the 65W part, but there are no indications of this fact on the box. Also the processor tends to get rather hot (25°C idle --> load difference), so I really think I got a standard 89W part.
The processor I got is a Manchester core:
ADA3800DAA5BV
LDBFE 0622WPMW
Using two instances of Prime95, maximum heat stress test it goes from 43°C idle to 68 - 69°C @2.5GHz, which is IMHO way too much. Prime is stable though. Voltage is 1.4 of course. Using AS5 and Zalman CNPS7000AlCu to cool it.
I know AS5 is not settled in yet, but arctic cooling instructions mention 2-5°c temp drop only so I'm not expecting much from that.
So, can anyone straighten the facts for me? I'd like to be SURE of what type of processor I got and also if this temp difference (>25°C) is normal. I may have made a mistake while cleaning and settling the HS to the CPU (it was my first time after all) so let me know if it might be that.
