AMD bundled HSF

[TheMASK]

Athlon XP 1700+ DUT3C JIUHB, at 2137MHz, (12.5*171) Vcore = 1.875V, A7V8X mobo with BIOS - 1012-beta-007.

I was using the Volcano 6Cu heat sink till now. But today i changed over to the stock HSF that came with the CPU. My volcano 6Cu used to start at 5200 rpm (quite loud) at boot up and then wud come down to 3200rpm after about 45sec, tnx to the Q-Fan incorporated in my mobo. At 3200 rpm i thot nothing cud beat this, noise-wise. But my stock HSF, much to my amazement, runs at a default speed of 3200rpm!!! And when the Q-Fan kicks in the HSF runs at 2200rpm, still maintaining a decent temp range.

My Volcano 6Cu is a copper-aluminium hybrid (circular copperbase with aluminium fins) with a 5200rpm fan that blows about 35CFM of air. My stock HSF is an all-aluminium heatsink with much lower fan speed and still performs on par(well almost) with the Volcano 6Cu.

Here is the temp:
Volcano 6CU: idle - 41C, Full load - 53C
Stock HSF: idle - 45C, Full load - 54C

Kudos to AMD for bringing out the works - a very nice 1700+ and an even better HSF!!!

why don't you put the amd fan on the volcano heatsink (swap fans) that way you would get a quiet fan on a better (i would presume) heatsink.

He might as well try...judging by his post, he's obviously bored...

yep, i am thinking of that. but right now i am so satisfied with the stock HS that i dont feel like taking it off.

not bored..just busy....saving the world

I might try something like that as well. My fan on my volcano 7+ is way noisy. I only run it a low speed. I don't like putting it on Q fan, becuase it starts out at an awful 6000 rpm. THanks for the idea Mask...

Hey Grub, thats another reason for my keeping with the stock HSF. even my Volcano 6 wud starts off loud at 5200 rpm. and as much as i wud luv to take credit, it was actually pIII_man who came up with the idea. tnk him

i did it. swapped the Fans and gues what, my stock HSF manages temp better than my Volcano 6CU HSF. with my stock HSF and stock FAN @ 3200rpm, at full load the temp was 56C (the max i have seen). but with the Volcano6Cu HSf and the stock fan, the temp went upto 63C!!! so i am back with my stock HSF and fan. quiet and effective.
