Depending on interest I might do a followup...but...these temps might interest you

Retail cooling 2200XP 1.8ghz amd ran at 63.5+ cel idle temp
with Volcano 9 1.8ghz ...47.5 cel idle temp
My cooling method 32.5 cel idle temp <----------with Cpu overclocked to 2ghz@1.8volts Still forced air 166@12 Motherboard running at 29 cel

This was done on an Asus a7v333 with a Tin case.

Notice the diff in temps...almost half the original...and over 200mhz overclock with a voltage raise.

I also ran the test with the cpu @ 1.8ghz with the voltage at 1.65 <---stock speed...cpu temp dropped down to 30.5 cel

For those of you that dont know...If you can get the 2200 to 2ghz.....its a very noticable difference. Scisoft reports it as a 2500 not a 2400

I'm having a little trouble making sense of your temps... you said...

Which is it? 63.5 or 47.5???

awesoem looks good

With the original heatsink and fan it was 63.5 cel
With the Volcano 9 it was 47.5 cel

 

[Jeff7181]

gotcha

What kinda forced air are you using? Big fan?

 

[Tuff]

I am still just using a Volcano 9

Need to set up a 24 inch box fan with a funnel to go down to the size of your heat sink... THAT would be forced air, lol
