Not all W3520 run hot. I'v had 3 W3520 (2 left), the first one was a 3845A935, and its a typical high-leakage, hot running cpu. Compared to my best one, it runs 10-12 hotter with air-cooling (TRUE) on equal MHz. The only good thing about it is that it runs at even lower vcore than the others. On water it tops out about 4400-4450 for 8 hours prime.
My second and third was 3848A352. I'v sold nr 2, but the last one is really good.
Cooled by water (laing dcc, HK3.0, PA120.3 + BIP3 with 1000 and 1300 rpm fans) with ambient 21-22 it can do this:
Scaling is also very good:
Extremely happy with my GB X58 Extreme, but I'm hoping GB X58A will be released soon, need higher BCLK
