CPU Fan

[hello45044]

What is a good fan/heatsink for an Intel Pentium 4 2.40GHz socket 478 CPU? The stock fan and heatsink don't seem to be doing good enough.

lol!

go to newegg.com and look there has lots of stuff and has what you are looking for aswell. And you might want to invest in some good thermal paste to put between your heatsink and CPU really helps alot!

I put this one in the pc I built: Thermaltake POLO 735 Extreme

CPU in that pc is a P4 2.8 (Northwood) Socket 478.

 

[hello45044]

Will this work good with the Thermaltake POLO 735 Extreme?

 

[hello45044]

Well will it?

1. Tony -- grow up
2. Hello -- chill, we dont live here; nor do we exist to answer your questions right away.

That being said, yes.

 

[hello45044]

thanks

I suspect the thermal transfer rate to be in the ballpark of 200,000W/m²·°C -- much like AC

 

[hello45044]

Is there anything cheaper than the Thermaltake POLO 735 Extreme that will work good?

Where is that number coming from? 2mm thick piece of copper will produce the same results (ie same thermal resistance)... meaning I think that number is a bit high

200,000W/m²·ºC is the measure of thermal conductance per 0.001" (0.000254 mm) layer it's thermal resistance is [given as] 0.007ºC-in²/W (again for 0.001") for AC. Hehe if you think that's high, AS5 is rated at 350,000W/m²·ºC

That's gotta be one of the stupidest rating systems I've heard. Basically just making things more complicated than they should be. Is plain old thermal conductivity (k [W/m-K] ) too hard to present? And on top of that, mixing metric and English units (okay, it's not as bad as the EER of air conditioners).

How about Unreal Tournament 2004's rating of "Rating Pending"?

Is plain old thermal conductivity (k [W/m^2] ) too hard to present?

Bah then they'd have to explain what kelvins were and why their numbers are different from someone who wasnt using kelvins ... and thus we have the classic case of consumer saying "why dont they use 'normal' numbers like everyone else" (reminiscient of AMD/Intel)

 

[hello45044]

Kelvins and conductivity ratings dont have a thing to do with my first question

yes.
