Well, I bit the bullet and build a platform for my Opteron dual use FAR Master2 K8T motherboard. The problem is I am getting horrible CPU cooling around 64c for each CPU. I've done some tests, but they get nervous and stop the machine when the CPU temperature hit 68c! I've been reading forums and trying to figure out what is happening. I replaced the stock HS with thermaltake coolers p4 (volcano number). I used generic thermal compound (I think it was a # 1) and tomorrow I'm buying silver and get back Arctic heat sinks. I guess my question is heatsinks should work? No? are identical to the K8 solution take heat (at least I can say), without using the brackets p4 (I have to use due to the motherboard) heat sinks have adjustable fan speed controllers, and it seems any difference in how fast they turn up, CPU temperatures are still in the "Oh shit" levels. Has anyone found no "perfect" cooling solution for dual Opteron with FAR Master2 K8T motherboard? Something off the shelf, it would be preferable, and I really do not want to spend money on water cooling.
