Operating temp Intel PIII/P4 vs Athlon XP ??

[Dash8Driver]

Do the Athlon XP 18/1900 CPU's run hotter than similar Intel PIII/P4 CPUs? If so, do you recommend additional cooling for the CPU and if so what kind. Thanks!

Alpha 8045 or Swiftech good for overclocker.

The XPs will definitely run hotter!!! check out overclockers.com for the latest cooler shootout.

The XP's will run hotter, but they are able to run hotter, it's in their nature

what are typical temps for p4s? i have a XP1700 at 1600 MHz and it runs at 38C idle. do P4s run cooler then that?

p4 1.6a @ 2.24, idle is around 32C (slightly above room temp), and full load is 36C, according to motherboard monitor 5 [Asus p4t-E] with stock cooling.

Generally the XP is gonna run a lot hotter, but you also have to consider what voltages they are running at.
