That is really true if you have one of those small OEM heatsinks. I |
| 56 |
have a AMD 2500+ in my rig and I have the ThermalTake Venus 12 with the |
| 57 |
fans running in temp controlled mode. The highest I have seen mine run |
| 58 |
in a long time is about 98F. I run folding 24/7 on my systems too. |
| 59 |
Compiling or running folding will not last long on those small OEM |
| 60 |
heatsinks. They are just barely enough for everyday use. If you have a |
| 61 |
OEM heatsink, invest in a better one. The heatsinks are larger and the |
| 62 |
fans are better too. |
