Opteron temps in the 50's

lowering the volt changes the overclock though. no its not....is that a joke....did you really just say that. take it back...every test in the world ( including my own) 100 percent disagrees. the stock heatsink wasnt NEAR as good although its decent if you wanna put it onan old chip

What are you babbling about?

Did you use artic silver or some sort of thermal paste?

You must have a different opty than I have. Mine is 1.35 at stock.

It depends on the motherboard/BIOS revision, I believe. Some motherboards default the VCore to different voltages. I know my EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra with the latest BIOS revision defaulted my old Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice) E3 and my current Opteron 144 to 1.45V. I have to set the VCore to -.05V to get it back to the AMD-specified VCore range (1.35V/1.4V; see link).

My Opteron 144 is at 2.7GHz (9 x 300MHz). Load temps are 40C on the CPU and 35C on the chipset. I use a Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu HSF at "normal" fan speed. On "silent" mode, it goes up to ~45C. My AMD stock CPU HSF had the CPU at ~46C load. I have a Cooler Master Praetorian with 4 fans on low (I use a Vantec Nexus NXP-305 fan/light controller). See my Anandtech System Rigs Profile for more information on my setup.

My Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice) E3 ran at 2.5GHz (9 x 300MHz, 1.55V) at ~47C with the stock AMD CPU HSF. Seems these Opterons -- well, at least mine and the OP's -- don't run as cool as one would think. Regardless, I am thrilled about my OC, so it's of little consequence to me.

Dual core optys have different voltages than do single core.

The dual core optys also use a different HSF.

Stock voltage shouldn't depend on your motherboard/bios revision. It is ~1.325 V (1.3 V/1.35 V) defined by AMD. The default voltage provided by your board would likely depend on your BIOS revision though

[edit] Single cores have a higher rated voltage, 1.35 V/1.4 V
