Waterblock x2p like this one:

waterpump hydor l20
radiator - single danger den heater core with noiseblocker 120mm SX2 @5V


This damn thing is 38C hot on startup, ~57C stress.
For example other Opterons with lower TDP ratings (44w) was 34C idle, 47C stress (all 2,9GHz 1,5V)

I want to ask you guys (especially the one running high TDP AMD64) what temps do you have on WC?

hmm - could a poor joint between chip & IHS be contributing to this problem?
