Re: Semperon 2800 with Athlon XP 2800 heatsink.

onto the ZIF socket. Where is the original Sempron cooler?



The heatsink currently on is an Athlon XP 2800 heatsink (looks similar to a Semperon heatsink but is 1 cm wider on each side ).


It clips to the socket fine, makes snug contact with the top of the CPU and doesn't overlap onto the plastic moulding of the ZIF socket. Since cleaning and re-attaching the temperature has dropped from 57C to around 52C - but from what I understand, this is still high.

Posts from other users report similar temperatures, so this isn't unusual. Suspect the only way to improve this might be some better paste, heatsink, and fans. Newsgroup results suggest this may only product a 7C - 10C drop in temperature. Is it likely to be better than this? Are these are all crystal ball questions?

(The original Semperon cooler is securely at the warehouse from which it was never ordered - as the author - in a fit of adventurousness / stupidity - ordered the wrong one.)
