Just built my latest PC. I used the Epox 9NPA+SLI, and AMD 4800X2, 2gig ram, 1.5TB of Storage (Hitachi drives). I use the Thermatake Armor case, with 2 120mm case fans, and 2 80mm HD fans. NO overclocking.
Needing some feedback on the stock CPU temps on the AMD 4800X2. Mine are running in the 39-40c range sitting on the BIOS temp page. I have used 3 different HS Fans the last week, and all are about the same temps. Have used both AS5 and AS Ceramique.
The 3 coolers I have used are :
Big Typhoon
Zalman CNPS 9500
Thermaltake SI-120 (with Panaflow 120mm 12L1A fan)
30-40c in the BIOS basically at Idle seems warm to me. But I have never used an AMD X2 processor. So not sure what the "normal" CPU temps should be.
