Recommendation 3.6hz CPU

[Styleprojekt]

What Heatsink Fan would you guys recommend for a Intel 3.6GHz CPU?

 

[Cromewell]

honestly, stock. The boxed cooler intel provides is the best you can do for the LGA775 CPUs. The 3.6 will still run silly hot unless you somehow found one of those models with E0 stepping. Even then you will easily hit 70C under load without some sort of watercooling

SO watercooling would be the way to go to keep my baby cool??

 

[Cromewell]

its almost required, 3.6s run in the mid 40s idle.

 

[Styleprojekt]

ok so here comes the next question: What Watercooling system do you recommend??

 

[Cromewell]

sorry, dont know too much about watercoolers since I have yet to need one. try looking around the usual sites for reviews (anandtech, xbitlabs, firingsquad etc)

buy a copper heatsink..lol wherever you would find one? i dunno

 

[Cromewell]

all copper isn't available for LGA775s yet. Even if it was, I hghly doubt it could dissiapte the heat from the 115W E0 3.6 let alone the D0 3.6s

Definitely not all copper ... sure its about one and a half times better at taking heat off the CPU... but has about a third of the capacity for storing that heat (i.e., endurance)
