Full Heat dispersion xp1600 and xp2100 tbred

[Chaos Archon]

I've searched bu coul'nt find anything - probally wrong key words...anyway.

What i need to know is how many watts does a xp1700 palomino compared to an xp2100 tbred b?

Reason, The only heatsink i have acess to right now is able to handle a xp1700 and i'm just wondering if its ok to use it with an xp2100 just for some testing just before i start water cooling or should i underclock the xp2100? if so to what about.

the heatsink is a "TaiSol CPU Fan for Duron or Intel Pentium III. Rated to Athlon XP1700+ or PIII 1.2Ghz. AMD Approved"

mobo: Epox 8rda+
ram: 2x geil 256 pc3700
wb: lcc gen1

Thanks alot

from experience, I used a heatsink which was meant to support Athlon XP 2000+, yet with an palamino XP 1800+ it was doing 60°C+ with case at around 20°C and it had proper thermal paste on,

so in my opinion, I would clock it down and run it a bit slower to be sure,

doesn't TMG have something about this, like graphs etc???

links for you to bookmark ;)

Processor Electrical Specifications Database (http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm) - a BIG list of pretty much every x86 processor under the sun and their electrical specifications, including heat output.

and if you're into this sort of thing, you can calculate the heat of your processor using this handy little javascript:

Thank you very much mird and _N_ :D

that java link seems to be down, oh dont worry found it.

so according to that, the Maximum power dissipation of both the xp2100 tbred is 61.2 watts and the xp1700 pally is 64watt, so the heatsink migh be fine,

I'll also be using as3 and a shim for good contact.

or just lower the vcore a notch, the tbred should hold up, itl should do 1.5V sweet, or less even ;o

here is another calculator to work out the oc wattage :)

Just remember, wattage isnt the only variable....die size will also impact the appropriateness of using different 'sinks.

But it should be just dandy mate.....if it isnt, it wont spectacularly fail.....it'll just get warmer than is cosy, at which point you can clock back, save up some $ and get another 'sink :)

I decided to just skip the heatsink phase and go straight to water, tojja - your block rocks. - I've got a heatsink thats rated at xp2700 on the way so i'll have same thing when water is down.

thanks alot for your replys
