Coming from him, no one knows.

My X2 hovers around 52C at full load with a Zalman 7000AlCu, but I didn't have any Arctic Silver on hand so I used the Zalman thermal compound. Improving my case airflow and replacing the default crap with some AS5 will probably bring that number down a bit - I hope. :)

I'm using stock cooling with AS3: my 4800+ idles at 36C and the highest I've seen it reach under load was 44C (and that was at the end of a long Prime 95 torture test). Most of the time my temp-under-load remains in the lower 40s :)

If you are only loading at 43c (while idling at 36c) with an xp-90 I am seriously thinking you are not successfully loading both cores...

show picks please

Are you guys running two instances of Prime95? Make sure both cores are at 100% in Task Manager.

are you running dual prime95 for load? or just 1? look at the task manager and make sure both cores are at 100%.

I would think so...at least 10c swing...I have decent to slightly above average cooler and even when I dont OC or overvolt I get a near 15c swing...

I can imagine maybe that kind of turn with a xp-120 perhaps..

Maybe you are right...the idle is a bit higher then I have heard from others and the load is a bit lower.....I just didn't think any current air cooler had less then a 10c swing and remember this has a TDP like an FX55

in the winter, and when my xp-90 wasnt completely filled with dust, my cpu went 30c idle 40c load.

You could be right, I kinda did a half-assed load.

I'm amazed at this processor. It's f-ing awesome.
