Cooling System.

rbxslvr · 07-02-2007, 02:08 AM

Can anyone recommend a good cooling heat sink + fan (I don't want to deal with liquids... I don't much care for the idea of water flowing through my PC)?

I've been looking at some on newegg, trying to find one with a high CFM. I have the one that came with my P4 3Ghz right now. I'm not looking to spend much money... I plan on getting a really nice cooling system some other time... I just need one that will work for now

Im guessing Socket 478? if your not overclocking 30+ CFM. overclocking 45+ CFM. (or 40CFM+)

775... I'd like to overclock. but I'm not yet.

I saw one on newegg that was $15 and pumped 70-80 CFM...

here it is... will it work? It says P4 775... but what does the "prescott" mean?

Prescott is Intel's codename for the processor model and slightly different aspects between the chips, in some cases. Prescott chips are nicknamed 'Preshot', they are bad for heat.

Another question, Can you overclock with your mobo? Some mobos, like mine, the retarded Intel DG965WH, have the options locked up. What is your mobo?

There are a few good Socket T (775) coolers, the Thermalright 120 Extreme is a passive cooler and you can get a Delta HF focused fan, they're loud and expensive but they push about 180CFM for the 120mm version!

There is the Zalman CNPS9500/9700 which is an all-copper cooler with a fan in the middle, looks quite pretty. Another easier to fit option is the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro but it's massive.

I can. Asus P5LD2

So this cheap-o will not work for a "normal" P4 Processor? Or are the differences in the Prescott chips only inside the chip, not physical differences

Here is MY processor information

Aye, but it's good! I idle @ 32c, there's pictures in my sig. I'd recomend it
