have a prescott want to cool it down whats good. been lookin around and thermaltakes tower series looked good but heavy, a zalman brand also looked ok and anyone have a scythe brand cooler?. thanks p.s. mite do gpu while at it any input on these would be nice
Hard to beat this; it cools my Prescott very, very well. The Proof: That's after playing HL2 for three hours, too, BTW.
Yup. Stick a good 120mm fan on it and you'll be good. Having good airflow in your case is important too. Make sure you have enough fans in your case. I've had a little experiance with the Scythe HSF's. From using them against stock coolers you get with your CPU's, they're in some cases worse. The Zalman 7700 is a great HSF too. I'd say it was a toss up between that or the XP120. As for your GPU, take a look at this: http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/view.asp?idx=149&code=013 From looking around it seems to be pretty much the best on offer at the moment. Though an NV silencer would do the job more than adequately.
thanks for replies, leaning towards the TT silent tower, it just looks like itll fall over and break. oh well
To Cool My Prescott Core I Used An Gigabyte GH-PCU31-VH 3D Cooler Ultra w/Arctic Silver 3 Thermal Paste It worked really Well the core was slightly overclocked to 3.0 to 3.2 and holds a temp of 28C at idle and heavy load around 38C - 45C.But Now I Have Swicthed to water Cooling
Try looking at arctic cooling Freezer for P4 or AMD its an excellent cooler at lower price. I have the thermal right xp-120, its good but quite pricely. cheers!
will a Tt cpu cooler tower 112 fit/work. specs say fits a 3.6 prescott 478 socket? thermalright xp 120 takes a memory card slot away so its out. zalman needs 2.6 inche radius from center of proccessor and nothing higher then 1.5 iches my MB's heatsink is there or rite there. anyone with my MB use any of theses. just want to pick up rite component and do once
