Opteron Temps?

So, is it true? Do opterons run cooler than equivalently clocked Athlons?

What is the average load temp for, say, an Opteron x42 or x44?

    I think Tex said they were pretty cool. The large surface area makes heat disapation a lot easier.

    My A64 runs at 105*F under normal use folding its around 130*F Pretty close to my AXP 3000+ @ 2.3

    What about your FX citrix? Similar?

    My dual 248's are running 47 C - 48 C with the modified Swiftech heatsinks.

    Mine runs at 44c@3.0ghz @100% load minus it's IHS. Opterons I think tend to run cooler at stock volts but once you crank up the voltage they seem to heat up pretty quick.
