Air cooler for 4600 X2

[Mickey Skuczas]

I have a 4600 X2, what would be a good air cooler for it beside the stock
one that comes with it?
My idle temp is 46 C and running WoW, its 53-54 C. Are these good temps?

Running mine OC to 2.6 GHz. With Prime95 torture test running with
SETI and Einstien at the same time, both processors showing at 100%
usage mine will eventually get to 56C in a 25C room after a couple of
hours of running with a stock cooler. Case temp 43C, it's pretty
stuffed and not the coolest running case on the market. My idle temps
run around 43C cpu 35 case. Sounds like you need to get more air
passing thru your case. The stock coolers work pretty well.

Im using a Gigabyte G-Power cooler on my 4600 x2. My idle temp is around
29 C and playing WoW increases to a max of about 55 C (I am using cool
'n' quiet though...)

Seems a little on the high side to me. But considering the quality of
the stock coolers, the temps might be high due to not mopving enough
aire through the case. Try adding another case fan or some other way of
improving ventilation inside the case.

Its been my personal experience that the stock coolers work quite well
unless there's some very serious overclocking using higher voltages.

FYI, I'm using a 4200 X2 o/c'ed to 2.6ghz, stock voltages, and it runs
26C idle and NEVER above 51C full load, stock cooler. Typical observed
temps with light load are 29C - 32C.

The only temp that matters is the max temp, as idle temps can be good at
anything from 25C-50C depending on case temps, onboard fan controls, CnQ
enabled, etc. If you aren't maxing out over 55C then there is nothing to
worry about. Anything above that may be an indication of a problem you may
want to address.
