A friend just gave me a Volcano 6cu+... I think it will perform better than the default AMD heatsink

I'll do this: I'll change my mobo form an Asus A7S333 to a MSI Kt3 Ultra tomorrow, so installing it right now will be an useless efort.
I will install the AMD default hs/fan. Do some testing, and then install the Tt 6 Cu+ and post the results.
Thanks to some posts I read here and @ amdb forum, I've also "learned" how to install these things right...

Bottom line though, I'm pretty sure that if you AREN'T going to overclock then you don't need to worry about adding third party thermal paste. Just use what came with the heatsink and that's it.

the heatsink is an Akasa 785 AMD approved heatsink. Came bundled with the mobo from microlanduk.
not sure what aftermarket means though?
how big should the difference be between the CPU and the system temp? Currently i've got a 7-9oC difference. is that good?

perhaps a little low, my system runs at more or less 10C lower than CPU temp. IF youve got a bundled HS it usually means it aint the best, like i say check out the online catalogue at www.overclockers.co.uk for some real heavy duty cooling

Board temp should be close to 30C on a hot day. CPU temp close to 60C. If the board temp is much higher then turn your attention to case cooling. When it goes down so does CPU temp. Heat flows from the higher temp to the lower temp, simple stuff really.

We are getting caught up in terminology for terminologies sake here. Sock/Aftermarket this is silly,.......... & who cares!
Temps CPU less than 50 acceptable (or good)
more than 59 start worrying.
any other temp must be looked at independantly: what does your mobo manual say about safe working temps? are you under it?
may as well do the same for your HDD as well oh & videocard too
If your going to over clock in the future... buy heatsinks that
will allow for this......... you can always turn the rpm of the fans down until the extra is needed.

...dunno what its like in yankee land, but here in Blighty i run about 27C-30C system temp and no higher than 45C with Seti@home and games running on a hot day, around winter my max temp will maybe drop to an avg. 38C, not a huge difference...
Jm's right id start to get concerned whn pushing onto 60C, in fact as a matter of personal preference i open a window/door to increase room ventialtion as soon as i pass 42C
