But from phenom black editions they send the HSF
Earlier B.Es didn't ship with coolers, I clearly remember seeing one when I was buying my PC,Where did you got it from?
I run my PC for average 12-18hrs a day with a CRT, so oc'ing is not a good option, specially due to power bills, but I went to 3.6GHz(400*9) @ 1.2250v with stock HSF with stock thermal pad applied, ran stable for a week, then I underclocked it to normal and enabled speedstep to save power , I reckon that with a good thermal compound(I couldn't find one in kolkata, the only ones available are Intel cooling paste from the last century, and some chinese stuff that already hardened in the tube) anyone can go to 3.8-4.0 with stock HSF.^^ are you running your proc @ 4Ghz with stcok HSF ? Just curious.
Also are e5xxx & e8xxx series comes with same HSF ?
Right now, with speedstep enabled my proccy idles @ 40c depending on ambient which is about 35c, when gaming(Crysis maxed out) it goes to 63c, waiting for a good thermal compound.3.6Ghz with stock hsf @ 1.225V is excellent buddy. BTW what temp you got when you OCed to 3.6Ghz @ idle & load. Also what temp you are getting now @ idle & load. Please measure it with realtemp & post.
I'm running my e5200 @ 2.7Ghz with 1.125V & it's temp is idle 42C & After some heavy gaming ( for 2 hours ) it reaches upto 58-60C. It's within safe limit, isn't it ?
please suggest any nice cooler for E7200 around 1k to 1.5 k
^^ You should get it under 1-1.2K
