Hey, that's better than what my 1600+ Palomino is doing right now. It's at 49C, full load, though the fins has a layer of dust. When it was clean, it was around 44C, full load.
When the XP-M had the Aeroflow, it hit 59C under full load @ 2.4GHz, 1.775V. JC's Aeroflow on his 2500+ @ 2.2GHz doesn't reach 50C under full load IIRC.
I must be cursed to have temp readings like this. I'm happy with full load temps under 55C.
Just wanted to thank everyone for their help and give an update. I purchased a SLK-900A and thermaltake smartfan (and some good old artic silver). Just finished installing and I'm running the fan at about 1/2 speed right now... MUCH quieter. The CPU temp is holding steady at about 43C idle and 50C under load. If I turn the fan up all the way I stay easily below 50C under all loads. Now I just have to tweak my case cooling, buy better RAM, and I'll be set. Great advice all. Thanks!
