Optys run hot?

[pcdoc1]

It all depends on the Voltage and the Current it draws...
Optys usually draw less Voltage and a little less Current and are a little bit cooler which makes them better for overclocking...

Let's get past "dope post 1045"..........

The opty 939’s are no more than an A64 that may, or may not be on better silicone, the jury’s still out. I wouldn’t expect for a moment that a 146 could out perform your X2-3800+ and/or run at higher temps. If you are getting better temps on your dual core than something is clearly different/screwed with your cooling solution, or your application of such………

Of course when AMD realizes, and they probably already have, that we are jumping on the new 939 Opty’s based on theory, they’ll start labeling them according to market demand rather then what we believe works!
