Hey guys, well i have a 3.2ghz p4 (LGA 775) and i have the regular fan and heatsink that came with it, and ive heard that i realy should get a better one, like a thermaltake , or a zalman.
Can anyone tell me if i need to get one, and if so, what is the best bang for the buck setup?
do a search on newegg.com for the blue orb 2. I have heard great things about that fan/heatsink and i plan on buying it. FYI i think the price is around 40$ USD
personally I would just put arctic silver 5 in.
Just clean off the heat sink in the Processor and then apply the stuff.
Adding this alone could make a 5C decrease in temp.
If you want more then that, try optimizing your airflow abit. Maybe a better fan, personally the normal heatsinks are good enough.
Also, i will say that the Prescott processors are armored, they run HOT!
62C or so is normal for them.
Yea, i have a presscot, i realy am not having any problems with this as it is- but i dont want it to burn out- my case is pretty good, its an axpire xnavigator, lots of airflow near the prosesor. Know any good programs to check my temps?
p.s. i found the blue orb II , i think i might get this. But then again i dont know because im reading the reviews and dosent sound to good.
you should be able to get your CPU up to 3.4 GHZ i have mine overclocked from 3.0 to 3.2 on stock cooling and it does not get that hot, infact playing BF2 i will prolly reach temps around 40C. Gotta love that nice cold maine air :)
I use a cheapo Copper copy of the stock heatsink, with an extra 80mm fan attached to the aftermarket fan. Lowered my Idle to 28*C and load to 45*C when the case temps are at 75*F. Total cost for those two was like 25 bucks, and you don't have to remove the motherboard to install any of it. Quick and cheap.:p

If you want the best way to cool your cpu, do the following:
1.)open your case (make sure you turn the power off 1st)
2.)remove existing motherboard (remove your power cables, memory, and all pci, agp/pcie cards 1st) unbolt it
3.)insert a 939 socket Mobo, bolt it down
4.)insert ANY AMD 939 based CPU, affix stock cooling unit (AMD runs 20-30% cooler than Intel)
5.)insert memory, power cables, cards, etc.
<P>Reinstall O/S (you will have to since the Nforce and Via chipsets are too different from the Intel chippies)
and ENJOY a cool running, high performance PC for a change:laugh:

LOL
I have the same cpu as you, also same case, if you are not going to Oc dont bother, i have the gigabyte PRO Rocket cooler, the house sits about 72 degrees, and at iddle the CPU is like at 32 to 33, under load, i might hit 45
