Intel Core i5 750 stock fan

[Cheesy]

Do you think the Intel Core i5 750 stock cooling fan would be alright as it looks a thin and i don't know how reiable the pre-applied termal paste is or should i use my old Intel socket 775 cooler (my mobo supports it).

Both of them should work fine if you are not overclocking.

the stock cooler on the i5 does it's job quite well for stock clocks.

Remember to go into the BIOS and enable the automatic fan speed control. It will make for a quieter computer.

stock units are meant for stock speeds and will do the job nicely as long as things arent too cramped/cluttered...should be fine and as was said, make sure the auto fan control is on/speedstep for intels? i think thats what their still calling it now...

auto fan control and speedstep has no relation between the two.

speedstep is a setting that still is on the intel chips correct? downclocks the chip when idle? thats all i was trying to get at...

 

[Intel_man]

speedstep decreases the multiplier to consume less power.

 

[FuryRosewood]

the relationship i was getting at was by having the two working, would make the stock fan more effective at keeping a lower temperature due to the lower clockrate, im not sure if speedstep is enabled by default, nor is auto...so i was just bringing that up

speedstep was on by default for me.

speedstep was on by default for me.

ya id expect that then, so woo, less having to fiddle with for defaults afaik usually smart fan is default but then again i may be being optimistic, and im a pessimist by nature...
