heat from a tbird over a duron...
right now i have a duron 800 running at 1155. my temps are at about 37c idle and 43c full load. i like that. now im wondering, im prolly gonna get a tbird 1.2 or 1.4 and start ocing the hell out of it too but ive heard alot about tbirds being warmer than durons and such....my friend has the exact same case as i do and exactly the same amound of case fans except he has a slighty better than stock hsf on his 1 gig tbird and his runs at 43c idle. i dont want my temps running that high if i go from a duron to a tbird......

The extra circuitry of the Tbird necessitates that it will run hotter. However, why worry about a 50ºC cpu temp if the thing is 100% stable for you? I've got a 1.4Tbird myself and on regular air running it on 1.85v and 1.64Ghz produced a max temp of 46ºC. Admittedly I have a good cooler the SK-6 and Arctic Silver and a 120mm fan directly over the HSF. But the point is that stability is more an issue than temps. Sure you want to be as cool as possible but the point remains the same.
