Lower temps?

It looks great! no dust, its perfect! as long as it spins that is, i would just leave it there unles your going to get some arctic silver. check your temps.
 
Alright well I have money now whoa and I need a good cpu/fan combo by today because Il order today.

It has to be off tigerdirect.ca or a trusted canadian site. It has to look nice also and has to fit.

This one looks good, reviews are alright also.

Now how on earth Would I figure out if it fit?

Oops =) I thought you meant a whole new motherboard cpu and cooler. Make sure your socket is REALLY LGA 775... here:


http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1187029&CatId=1588

63.5CFM!!! Cheap too! Ultra! coppper core to help heat transfer!
Click to expand...

I would but its VERY ugly. It has to look nice also. And it's a stock cooler basically.

Price isn't really an issue and heck I don't even know how to install these things. Mine right now has the 4 clips that you push and turn and it goes in. Iunno how I would install the one I linked from td.ca

Im not gonna get the zalman bc I wan't new no matter what.

Il go with this probably:

But I just have to find out if I can install it and to know if it fits.

I'm pretty sure with that your temperatures will rise. Yours has a bigger heatsink, to suck up more heat. It has high airflow, but a small heatsink. the bigger airflow might lower the temps maybe 15C but all I can say is get a bigger heatsink... with a high CFM fan. I have 36C idle on a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz Overclocked to 3.1Ghz, copper heatsink, have upgraded the fan 2 times. 33CFM, 37CFM, 43CFM. Copper helps.
 
Need to know if it would be putable because whats holding in my current one is different.

Need to order in the next 30 mins.
 
Oops! I didnt look at the side view. Its pretty good! especially with THAT much CFM. Well if your happy with it and 100% sure that its compatiable go for it.
 
Well I didn't end up ordering it yesterday because im still not sure on it so if anyone has any helpful answers that be great.
 
Ah... I saw something. If the mounting way is different they usually have a backplate that you have to install on the back of your motherboard to use the HSF. Might be a pain the ... just dont short it!.
 
Damn a pc forum and only an answer from 1 person. Thanks for answering, il order it even though it most likely won't fit.

Btw what's a cfm for a fan to have as a rear fan?
