AMD Athlon 64 Stock Heatsink with 4 Heat Pipes Tested - Page 4

Well after reading this thread and the review, I was intrigued. Since people pointed out the guy didnt use a 92mm fan with the panaflo, I decided to benchmark it myself. I happen to have the same opty 165 cooler. I actually bought the retail box then sold the cpu but kept the heatsink.

So I decided to take some time and uninstall my xp-90 w/ 2500rpm 92mm panaflo and install the brand new stock opty heatsink. I run an opteron 144 CACJE oc'd to 2.6ghz w/ 1.425 volts. Similar to what the reviewer on the site had.

Well I have to say, I am definitely amazed.......

Temps with XP-90 w/ 92mm panaflo at 2500rpm(which is fairly loud with that high of cfm):

34C idle
42C load

Temps with the stock 165 copper heatpipe heatsink:

33C idle
41C load

My temps dropped by 1C for both idle and load with the stock heatsink! I was blown away that a stock cooler I got for FREE, performed pretty much the same, even slightly better than a cooler I paid $35 for? Wow....im not sure what to say. I definitely wasnt expecting it to perform that well. I am actually debating selling my xp-90 right now since the fan on the stock cooler is actually quieter than my 92mm fan for my xp-90.

Hope that was helpful

glad to hear

Look closer to the fin design + the quad-heatpipe = good design = good performance

The fan, most people complain about before using it = "***-U-ME"

High speed fan can go lower; low speed high can't go higher.

The 2x40mm fans are blowing towards the PWM heatsinks; they can be mounted below or above the plastic bracket, preference of the user.

Blowing works better than sucking unless the PWMIC is mounted like in the DFI Expert board.

On the subject about larger fans with large dead spot relative to its non-importance when heatpipe is implemented.

I'd rather hit my clay bird (trap shooting) as soon as it gets out rather than waiting for it to "fall" down range.

And, I have three 100 perfect hit scores last year.

Got two from eBay for $5 a piece, though they charged $7.5 for shipping (priority mail received in less than 3 days). The retail packs are from X2 4600+.

I figure an 80mm delta fan would cost $10. I will use it for the Venice system and give one to my nephew who has a SD 3700+.

I just got an Athlon 4400 and was surprised by the mammoth heatsink that it came with. Sure looks exactly like this review one. So far running pretty cool, idling around 32C with the case closed. Ill do load tests later.

Please come back and share your experience on the stock cooler in terms of temp and noise level with us.

I wont have a chance to overclock for a couple of weeks. But im only shooting for a 10 percent oc to 2.4GHz. Should be double with that monster heatsink. Whats a maximum allowable temp for the x2's? I've read 1.4V on the core should be more than enough to get me to 2.4GHz.

A reader emailed me and asked for the 2x40 mm fans I used in the review.
