Hello everyone!
I decided to run an experiment: I have an ancient Athlon 64 x2 6400+ and wanted to see if the stock cooler for the current FX series would do a good job of cooling compared to my old Hyper tx2. For the most part, yes it is doing a good job. The problem is that it is only at 3200rpm.
It would really be amazing at 5200-6000rpm, which is what I thought the max rpm was normally. My case has a number of loud fans, so I do not care about the volume.
I have disabled smart fan control in the bios and Cool and Quiet (just in case). Windows power management is at "Performance" and cooling is set to "active." I even tried turning on those settings and using the fan control settings in Easy Tune 5, still maxed at 3200rpm. This stock cooler (the heat pipe one) is brand new and unused (still had the oem thermal paste, which I changed for AS 5).
Motherboard: GA-m57-sli-s4
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400+
Thanks!
