I was just curious what kind of temps some other people have with opterons. I have an XP-90 heatsink. I just got my opty 146. Right now I am at 2.6ghz at almost stock volts. I know with my X2 and all my different venices ive had, my temps for idle/load varied by at least 5 or 6C. Like with my 3200 venice @ 2.5ghz, my idle was like 32C and load was like 38-39C.

Well, my temps with my opty and xp-90 are at 38C idle and about 40-41C load. I was just wondering, seems strange it only changes 1-3C from idle to load.

Yeah thats pretty much the same as mine. Its friggin weird. I think its displaying temp incorrectly. I havnt flashed bios to latest version, maybe thats it. It just seems odd because my 3200 and 3000+ venices oc'd to same speed were like 30-32C idle and like 38-40C load.
