Cooling down my new CPU

Hey I just purchased a P4 2.6c OEM and as most know teh OEM dont come with a heat sink or fan. So....anyone got any suggestions for wut to use .. companies? specific fans? heatsinks? etc?

Tnx

 

Overclocking??

I am a big fan of Thermalrights products....

an SLK-900u or SP-94 with a fan of your choice..

 

Thermal Take is good
Zhalman for quiet
Or you can get WET! (water cooling)

 

same here.

SLK 900U w/ 92mm Papst fan, pretty good circulated case. 32*C idle on AthlonXP 2000+ @ 1,914Ghz.

 

If you want the best, without having to opt for peltier or anything, go for thermalright.

Slightly more bugdet ones of notice are Vantec... and that's all I can think of ATM

In my humble opinion, Thermaltake aren't the best for heatsinks. They are OK, but not the best - more flashy than anything else. Not worth it.

 

I'm using a cheapo 60mm Speeze all copper heatsink that I had relapped with a aluminum adapter I made to mount an 80mm Speeze fan on top. My CPU temp is 34c right now.

 

cpu temps

Just built a computer with a athlon 1800 asrock mb apacer 256ram and using stock heatsink and fan. I am getting temps at 56c. Downloaded aida32 syst anal and says temp is 76c. How accurate are the mb sensors. Also own a 24oo athlon and it runs 42c but has arctic silver under it. Have aida32 in it as well and the numbers are the same. thanks

 

OK i took some of ur advise and decided Im goin with a Thermalright heat sink I settled on the SLK-947U heatsink.

anyone have any reason not to get that one?

and i still need suggestions on a good fan company

 

Great heatsink...

fan?

Hmm...

amazing cooling but slightly louder than a fighter jet taking off from and aircract carrier would be the Vantec Tornado....

good cooling, adjustable speed not near as loud...the Tt Smartfan II

decent cooling and silent (what I switched to) a Vantec Stealth 92mm fan....

 

big fan of Papst fans, they cost a tad more but are alot more quiet while pushing the air along than most other fans

 

Alright i have researched some of the names u've thrown at me and decided on the SLK-947U with then Vamtec Tornado as my fan so thanks alot and once i get my new system up and running ill be sure to let everyone know how it goes.

Also if u can take a look at my new thread "powering it up" and gimme some suggestions on powersupply's that would be great


thnx all

 

hey this might seem like a really stupid Q but....I just got my 92x92 vantec tornado and SLK 947U heatsink and i dont see any way to attach the fan to the heat sink.....please adivise..lol..

 

www.thermalright.com -> installation -> Intel SLK-947U

 

lol hey thanks fleppen dont mind me lol....

i got everythin hooked up but i was wondering....are there any 92mm case fans that move NEAR 100cfm and are quieter then the tornado?
