Hi guys, I was wondering about how much heat the 1700+ Palomino puts out. I'm not sure what is normal for it, haven't found much information about it. Currently, I'm using an all aluminum Coolermaster heatsink with Arctic MX4 thermal paste and modified with an adapter to run an 80mm Arctic F8 3 Pin Fan. My setup used to see temps around 60*C maybe higher under load. I'm still seeing max temps at 58*C, so I definitely see cooler running and it does cool down faster going from under load to idle. Are these temperatures considered pretty cool for this processor?
PS: All temperature readings taken from BIOS.
