Recommnd best HSF

[joncenawordlife]

Hi

i've Intel P4 3.2GhZ prescott [lga775] & 915GAV Mobo.

using my Stock HSF; my temperatures are:--

idle== 48-50 c
load== upto 67 c


so suggest a good HSF combo which'll really take me temperatures within 35 or 40 c.

Thermalright XP 120 + Papst 4412F/2GLL, 119mm

(Note: You need the Thermalright Retentionmodule for XP120 for Socket LGA775)

~120$

This babe will surely do it. :D

I use the Zalman 7000 series. I have a socket 478 but they have the equivalent that fits into the 775 here (http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/view.asp?idx=145&code=009). It costs about 45 dollars, and is much cheaper than the $120 dollar hsf that akherousin posted. I have a Pentium 4 2.8ghz prescott core (socket478) and it idles around 37*c and 48*c under load. Good luck and give us some updates on your decision. :thumbup:

forgot to add im overclocked to 3.0 ghz, so my temperatures are higher than usual.

zalmans are great...


Thermaltake's silent boost series is a good way to get great cooling but without all the noise.

liquid nitrogen will cost you alot but you can oc a 3.2 to like 5.0ghz!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
lol I dunno about intel hsf so i cant answer your question

I also have the ZALMAN 7000 for my socet 478. I idle about 40 and hangs about 51 on full load. Im overclocked from 2.53 Ghz to 3.12 Ghz, so my temps are a little hotter. I also am using a northwood core in my processor, so mine runs slightly cooler than Fycus's would.

XP 120 Papst U-Silent 120mm <----best cooler so far. I got it, and if you get it we can be cooler buddies :D

As a dude mentioned above: Thermalright XP 120 is good for air-cooling.

I use water+peltier cooling to cool my CPU and Graphics card. Temperatures range from 15c idle to 30c full load although I have run my CPU down to -7c in the past. Overclocking is much easier as the temperature of the CPU drops.

Nice design. Asetek say it&#39;s NOT a heatpipe. But when you look at the performance figures (pdf) you see that it&#39;s no different and no better than other heatsinks. Unfortunately there is only so much cooling you can get from passive designs. If you want a chilled CPU then you need phase-change or peltier+water.

My northwood P4 3ghz consumes between 80 and 110 watts. If I used the micro x2 heatsink from asetek then my CPU temp would be up to 60c on full load. That&#39;s really not very good at all. With water and peltier I&#39;ve been down to -7c (below freezing).
