what decrease in temp can i expect going from 2000+ Palomino to 1700+ OC'd Tbred

[UCDznutz]

Ok i'm trying to take the temps down in my room. The 2000+ i've been running on the 8rda+ has been at about 47-49 C all winter. The temps are fine for the winter because of the cold climate and it pretty much gave me free heating. But with summer coming up, i don't think that it'll be acceptable at all to have that temps, especially with the 100+ F we get here in Sac.

I want to go to a 1700+ Thoroughbred B and OC it to at least where the 2000+ is at. Can i expect it to run alot cooler or what? i think i've got decent cooling in my case, with two 80mm fans and a GC68 (i suppose i could get a new cooler, but i'd rather upgrade the processor if they run cooler).

Any suggestions?

is the 2000+ oced?
try undervolting it and see how far you can get without sacrificing stability

what thermal paste did you use?

no the 2000XP+ is running stock... using as2 with the GC68

then by all means undervolt
go to 1.6v and see if it will post
then run prime95 for a few hours (or overnite) and then go lower and lowe until prime95 fails within 12hrs (thats why overnite works best)

My 2000 Palomino runs regularly at 45-47 idle and up to 55 load, and there are no problems. It is a bit hot, but it should run fine at that, and even a bit higher, since stock cooling tends to give you something like those temps.
