P4 Temps

[idiotec]

But just FYI the stock HSF is the best solution for LGA775 prescotts. but since you have a 478, go with a high RPM, high CFM HSF.

That's not true at all. I have a prescott, and I lowered my load temp's by about 15c by getting the Tower112. It is heavy, but the best air cooling you can get. I load at 47C at 3.73Ghz.....

Well my stock works great for me. I get 29c idle. 40c Full load.
When i OC it from 2.8 to 3.5
i get 35c idle and 51c full load.

Anyways what compound did you use with that HSF?

I used AS5.....

Your temps are great, but also abnormal for a prescott. I actually seemed to have better than normal, with it staying under 60c full load at stock, but a lot I have seen have been 65-70C easy with the stock cooler.

Either way, it is going to be tough to beat a HUGE all copper HS like the Tower 112

Well to tell you the truth I have 2x 80mm, 5,000 RPM fans, both blowing in adjacent to the CPU.

But before that, my temps were still good with the stock fan before I installed the "windtunnel"

What temp's are your room?

I live in the basement and it is always cold down here. Like low high 50's low 60's.

no freaking wonder its that cool, my room is 64F and my CPU is overclocked and it still stays cooler

Ok,

I ordered some AS5 and Gigabyte GH-PDU21-MF, G-Power Cooler Pro CPU Cooler
