so just .2ghz more burned it up? Did you get a bigger fan/heat sink or no?


on the 2100+ I was using a thremaltake VOlcano 7+ which is rated to support up to a 2800+

the 1800+ I have a Volcano 9 with a differnt fan on it the one that came on the volcano 9 was a 74cfm thermaltake fan I replaced it with a 80mm Vantec tornado which pushes 84.1cfm that heatsink with the original fan was rated up to a 3000+ now I have a thermalright SLK900U with a 92mm vantec tornado rated for 119cfm.

and with the two that burned up none of the went above what AMD states as the max working temps for the cores. my 1700+ on a hot day will hit up to 140F where the core is supose to be able to handle 190F before it would fail.
