CPU cooler for a P4 3.4HT, need opinion

[joelkyr]

I just saw this cpu cooler, and wondrin if this is a good buy for my P4 3.4HT, both of them are Tt which one do you think is better:

1. http://www.xoxide.com/thp4sp7.html

2. http://www.xoxide.com/ttextreme.html

No. 2 was suggested by Praetor which I think is a good product but no. 1 is cheaper, so any suggestion? Thanks a lot!!!!!

The polo has a much higher CFM on the highend rpm. The cheaper one is SLIGHTLY quieter but doesnt cool as efficiently. Are you planning to overclock a lot?

 

[joelkyr]

no, its just that my stock fan from intel is not sufficient to cool down my CPU, the temp. reading reach up 57C gave me a scare, my average temp. was 45C to 50C on idle, but once I opened a prog. it just climb up like a rocket, what do you think is the normal CPU temp.?

 

[tristan]

yeah thats a bit hot. The cheaper one should be adequite for a nonclocked cpu. Make sure you get some Artic Silver 5 with that.

 

[Praetor]

Is that a Prescott you're running?

Whether it's a Prescott or not the Polo 735 is one mean mother of a HSF. I love mine!

 

[joelkyr]

Its not a Prescott, so I think i'll go with the Polo 735, I dont wanna take a chance CPU's are expensive saving a few $$ wont justify the damage it can cause, Thanks guys!!!!

Even if it was a Prescott im sure the Polo735 could "take it on" ... been playing with one lately... one hell of a beast
