lga 775 prescott cooling.

[mtslegacy]

I could use some recommendations on what heatsink/fan to use for cooling my intel p4 560 for the lga 775. I am also considering water cooling but I am afraid for leaks or condensiation. Is there any one out there with this cpu that can give me an idea of what is out there for this socket?

Cooler Master's HYPER 48 is the absolute best!

Isn't the hyper 48 kind of heavy? I sure wouldn't want to break anything.

It is heavy, but nothing that the bracket can't handle.

I have heard that you have to be very carefull with the mobo. I don't plan to move the pc to much, but will the bracket help support to motherboard or will this be to much stress on it for an extended period of time. Thanks

You will have no trouble with the installation. The package provides all of the hardware that you will need to mount the heatsink with complete stability. In most cases you can use the existing bracket and backplate.
