The idea of AC having the entire cooling solution already fails at the PSU. Todays PSU needs vary so much from the cheap Internet PC to the SLI Dualcore setup that it's pointless. to put in a fixed PSU but it's clear that the dominant design for PSUs is a single fan at the bottom of the PSU right now, which is logical considering it allows the biggest fan and keeps the fan inside the case so less noise gets outside.

@jmke, Motherboard goes up to 1.75V so I'll overclock it once the MX1 is burned in

That was the best article I've ever read on heatsink fans for cpus. It was so good I went to register just to post this, haha.

You should make it the standard to test with an overclocked computer and a non overclocked comp when it comes to testing HSFs. Always testing .2-.3 volts away from stock, and measuring the heat around the cpu. So informative.

Thank you and great job.

When will this "stock" AMD A64 cooler be bundled with all of their CPU's?

Quote:

These coolers are now bundled with all of AMD's high-end Opteron processors, including all of their dual-core Opteron models. As you can clearly see, they do not have the appearance of a "freebie" retail cooling solution, with heatpipes protruding from the sides of the thin heatsink fins. Rather, this cooler looks more like an expensive third party cooler for overclockers.

I will most definitely try my Opty 165 using stock cooling first.

it's the 2xx series only apparantly? can you check?

no, I got one with my 4400+ as well

it looks a bit different, the fan is deeper but it's still only a 80mm one despite the fact a 92mm would fit it nicely

I still say they should let AC design the stock HSFs. That would make them cheap and quiet.

A64 FX series have the same (or look a like). I've seen it at Gamers place some time ago.
