Also, I would have thought the heatsink supplied by AMD for the Phenom would be sufficient for 4 cores - but maybe not.
You would think, but I'm not wild about the fan-speeds neeed on the manufacturer-supplied heatsink with its dinky little fan.
I started using after-market fans several years ago for both better cooling and lower (quieter) fan-speeds that result from using larger-diameter fans.
I did do some research into that, but I think I'll hold off unless/until the AMD supplied fan gives up. It's actually very quiet, and as I've established, it's not a CPU-temp problem. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
