[98vert6spd]

if youve been following my other thread you know i need to get the heat situation under control

I want to get a new heatsink and some thermal paste cause i am using the stock one and no paste and its starting to become a problem


anyway

I ahve a p4 478 3.0 prescott

im mostly concerned about noise and heat

i couldnt care about the bling of it

i have room i think

i have a mid tower with a 6800 gt in it and i think thats the only thing that is really near the heatsink

its on a p4p800se asus main board

Thermaltake Silent Tower. best one I've ever seen, and I've got it on the samne chip as you, never goes above 45*c

 

[redrider773]

It's the best one you can get, excluding water cooling. I'd say at least.

to poke fun at the topic name...

i have yet to hear a LOUD heatsink. I believe all available heatsinks are dead quite. the fan is what makes it loud...the heatsink alone is never loud.

BTW- This is my 500th post!!! w00t!!

 

[redrider773]
