I was asking about the stock cooler how is it? is it just another cheap metal block or does it cool anything?

Oh my bad. Yea the stock coolers for the new Ph2's are actually pretty beefy. They cool a lot better than older stock HSF

how is the cooler comparable to athlon 6000+ 's cooler? it had 4 copper pipes and copper base..

asking because I am moving from 6000+ to 955 BE on msi gd70 board.. want to know if I have to order some cooler..

by the way, I am on cosmos s, which cooler would you suggest ? I am not going to do extreme clocking, but i like to be somewhere near 3.7 Ghz to 3.8..

room temp here in winter is 25c

In preparation of obtaining my new build with this motherboard next week..I would like to know where to obtain the beta bios..Last time I checked there was no where on MSI's website for them..All I saw was 1.3...also is 1.4b2 more stable then 1.4b3..is there any differences..

3.8 is getting into the "extreme" clock range for any chip. 3.7 should be good with the stock cooler but you'll probably idle around the 40's and under load you might be in the high 50's. It's kinda hard to say since I haven't used a stock cooler since my old FX chip. The Cosmos S is a pretty big case so any tower cooler should fit. The Xigmatek S1283 is a pretty good price/performance cooler especially if you get a good 120mm fan like a Scythe Ultra Kaze. They're a little loud but keep things cool like no one's business. The ThermalRight Ultra Extreme (T.R.U.E) is also a very good cooler but are a little bit harder to come by and are around $65-$70 USD. Just check around the net at places like newegg and see what you can find. There are tons of reviews out there for aftermarket coolers.

Im running the ph2 810. With stock cooler stock paste non-lapped at 3.4 (from 2.6) load im running about 48 - 50c and fan around 3800-4000 rpm (5500rpm max believe) I cant go any further then 3.4 with this cpu due to it not being BE..... just a reference though....

G.E.Nauticus

Okay I have a question. I cannot get my "CPU VID" passed 1.325 ( the far left slider) but I can get the CPU VDDC as far as I want. Could it be due to the 810 not being BE????? Help?? Running latest AOD and 1.3 msi bios..... Oh Also all my voltages in Bios are grayed and set to auto (unchangable)

CAHOP240

AOD usually puts a cap on some of the sliders. You may be able to go higher in the BIOS. I would try that.
