I recently re-seated my SK7 and Smart Fan II onto my 1700+ using Arctic Silver III, and Im getting a cpu temp of ~38C at full load at stock speeds. I decided to for a change, cuz I flashed to a new mobo bios, and changed some other stuff. I dont remember what I was gettin in the past, but is this normal? I havent "burned in" my cpu yet either, considering I just put it in about 30 min ago. I thought it was too high at first, so I took everything off and did it AGAIN, and just to be sure one more time, but ended up with the same results.
What are some of u other guys that use air cooling getting for a cpu temp at stock speeds?
If temps keep up like this, I dont think I'll be able to overclock my cpu for a while.. and that really makes me angry. If I were to upgrade, wut do u guys recommend? I want to stick with air cooling (Im not rich). Whats the best fan (that wont leave my ears ringing) to use? And what about heatsink? I was thinking about getting an SLK900 but I dont know which version to get. the "U" version, or the "A", or is another one? Whats the difference?? And lastly, do all of them fit on my NF7-S v2.0?
