Idle temps on your AMD Phenom 2 x 4 945

Post by Mike_J.M »

I was just wondering.. with a slightly better than stock fan, what would be a normal idle temp for this CPU.
Also feel free to post whether you have OC'd yours before.
Thanx

Well, my 925 is slightly clocked to 3GHz with a stock fan and it is idling at 46 deg Celsius.

Mine is clocked from 3GHz to 3.2GHz and its idling at about 34.

What sort of things do you look for when searching for instability?

Thought I should give an update of my CPU. Its wasn't stable @ 3.6GHz with stock voltages and it was idling at about 38-40C. I put it down to 3.5GHz and seems fine.
