Bulldozer temps

[byteninja2]

Okay, i know a few people have bd CPUs, so what are the temps on stock cooler and no oc, and one with oc and a good cpu cooler.How do they compare to sandy or ivy?I'm looking at the 6100 and the most.

On my 4100 running 100% cpu it stays about 48c stock, can't help with OC figs.
I've been running it at 100% for a week straight.

Forgot to add, the room it is in stays at bout 80f, small room.

35c at 4ghz, 1.34v. With my 212+ cooler. I would not suggest even using the stock cooler. Might as well spend the extra $20.

I was thinking about a okay water cooler, Corsair h60 at 4.5 GHZ.

I agree with claptonman about an after market cooler.
I'm planning on getting one sometime in the near future.

I just said, yeah, a Corsair hydro h60 water cooler. Could I get 4.5 out of it? With a 6100. How would a 4.5 GHZ 6100 compare to a i5-3450?

Actually, I looked at the h60, I don't think it would be compatible with my case. What would be the best $50 and below CPU cooler? I want to go 4.5 and above. Would a 4.5 ghz 6100 be better than an i5-3450 3 ghz? It's a 1.5 ghz difference, and 2 more cores on an 6100, so wouldn't it be signifagantly better?

Would a good cooler with a Phenom II 975 be a better option than a FX 6100? I am pretty sure you could get a Phenom II 975 to 4.0 gigahertz on an overclock with the right equipment.


AMD Phenom II 975 Deneb (3.6 gigahertz) 125W Quad-Core Processor - $130

No phenom.6100 at 4.5 ghz at the mininum, how would that compare to an i5-3450?

You keep asking that. If you can find a review with a overclocked FX-6100 vs. a i5-3450. Feel free to post it.
