Thats normal, best cooler for an AM3 processor is Megahelms.
Phenom 955 high temp.
Bought phenom 955 3.2 GHZ 2 days ago ....still having the stock fan, i tried prime 95 without OC to get the max load ... the temp. is above the limited temp. 62 C said by AMD site for the processor on both 3.2 and 3.4 GHZ .... on idle i get 41 C , closing both Cool and quite and smart fan control
is it wrong to get the temps above 62 C ?! shouldn't the stock fan help the processor not reaching the limits ? ....what's the best cooler to buy for AM3 processors ?

When my CPU is loaded with tasks [thru a Sony Vegas render, though I really haven't any time to run Prime95], temps hit 62 degrees at 3.8ghz with the stock cooler [combined with the cold winterish ambient in my house]. I'm a bit worried because I'm not sure whether the max for the Ph.II 965 is 62 or 65 degrees, but nevertheless, it's quite stable...

I disabled this overclock though because lately my house ambient temps have risen.... oh well, I hope to hit 4ghz or higher when I get that Dark Knight

Speaking of which, the S1283V Dark Knight is one of the best coolers around for AMD; lightweight & easy installation and great cooling performance! However I think it will only mount up-down so this is best used with a case with top fans.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I've been searching for temps people get to compare to mine.
How the hell can people get temps like that

I can't get that on water.
Why are there so many people who get these miraculous temps on air, what are your secrets, you're either lying or your sensors wrong.
I just can't beleive it.

Don't worry - I wonder the same, but it has to come down to one of the 2 above.

Either that, or they have ambients lower than 5C.

Yup Pyra.. Something is not right there. bad sensors or plain exaggerating.
I will say this. At 1.6V I run mid 30's idle and 50 load with my cooling. I put my rad outside windoe in 20 dgrees F. and run 23 idle 43 load.. It's nice!
