How does this HS compares to the Artic Freezer 64 Pro? If one of the link posted earlier (http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_cont...cooling&page=8) is anything to go by, then it seems that you really need to go high end air cooling before you get some significant benefit in terms of cooling.

um, the Freezer IS high end aircooling =P

It all depends on what you are cooling. Recent single core 90nm A64 does not emitt much heat at all even at overclocked speed. For reference; Venice 3000+ @2.7 Ghz 1.6 vcore DFI nF4, load temp 45 C under 22 C room temp; SD 3800+ @2.8 Ghz 1.475 vcore load temp 53 C under 22 C room temp.

Fan was set at auto and never exceeded 3000 rpm. This Stock Cooler review is all about how well AMD has improved its stock unit over previous design with performance matching many 3rd party aftermarket units and maintaining the 3 years warranty.

So I'm just starting to build a system with an Opteron 165 and I'm wondering if there is any advantage in terms of cfm/noise ratio to replacing the 80 mm fan with a 120-80 mm adapter and 120 mm fan? I've seen it mentioned in other forums but I haven't found detailed specs (rpm/cfm/dB) for the stock 80 mm fan to use in a comparison to decide if it is worthwhile. Does anyone have the specs, or the model number (I couldn't quite make it out in the picture) for the stock fan?

stock fan is custom sized 80x80x20mm Delta fan which can ramp up to 5000+rpm .. not exactly quiet.

120mm->80mm adapter will degrade performance though

Ok I'm new here so bear with me. Also I realize this is a thread res from hell, and I apologize in advance but I need some info.

I wanna grab a cheap dual core setup, but I'd like to, if I can, get ahold of a quad heatpipe OEM cooler. I bought my Sister a X2 BE-2350 Brisbane and it had the typical alluminum slab. What retail AMD chips come with the 2 heatpipe cooler and which with that awesome 4 pipe jobber? Or if at all possible, could one of you guys sell me yours? I'm trying to fit this thing into a NXT rogue case so height is my main concern.

Or is the Rogue big enough to handle something along the lines of this cooler without me having to install the entire sink form the inside of the case?

I know there's a height limit, I just haven't been able to find out what due to the lack of honestly through reviews. People just slap together some seemingly crummy spare parts system into it and then ***** about the poor front drive design.

that Scythe cooler will be higher for sure; don't know if AMD still sends out these heat piped stock coolers; although if you want the cheapest dual core system, for now, Intel E2xxx series will be cheaper

Well I'm getting a motherboard for free, so ya can't beat that. I'm just worried about clearance on the cooler, and being able to slide it in on the tray. If anyone knows and they could tell me what's the height of the tray for heatsink clearance I'd be much appreciated. I'm not dead set on that cooler It was just one on the large list that I might use because by eyeballing photos it looked like I might be able to make it fit.

I am still running two Opteron 165 systems here

Leaving the stock HSF on auto-
System 1) @2.82 Ghz it hardly runs above 3,000 rpm
System 2) @2.5Ghz same

The video card fans are making more noise.
