I ran dual-Prime on my Opteron 170 for more than 14 hours. The CPU gets very hot. Idle temp is around 30C. But load temps while running Prime will get as high as 55C! This is with VCore at 1.39v (1.425v in BIOS) I was running the test in a closed case with the heater on in the house. I'm hoping the Tuniq HSF I ordered will help lower the temps a little. The Tuniq is big and heavy. It weighs more than the Thermaltake Big Typhoon.
Update: I switched to my old Thermaltake Venus 12 while I wait for the Tuniq to be delivered. The Thermaltake has variable speed control for the fan which goes all the way up to 6400RPM. 3500RPM is a little easier on the ears. ;)
I must say it is nice to be able to run dual-Prime and still do other things with the computer.

Yes, I'm using an Ultra-D. At 1.5v, load temps running dual-Prime are above 60C! I'm keeping the CPU at 1.4v for now.
