A good p4 hsf?

[Jimingle10]

Looking for new HSF. Need it for a 2.4ghz northy and lookin on ebay for one....im using stock right now. Hoping to spend under 50 bucks , and to buy it on ebay. Thanks!

Why do you want to buy it on Ebay? Having had almost every P4 heatsink out there (Stock, Dragon Orb, Volcano 7+, MCX478, AX478 and now the MCX4000) I can say so far I like the MCX4000 the best. Its 47bucks and you can pick it up online ( I suggest www.sidewindercomputers.com) and most places now accept Paypal and Money orders.

You can use a Socket A/370 heatsink with this P4 adaptor. You could get the adaptor and a Thermalright SLK800.

I Dont know anything really about the P4 HSF.

All's i know that Volcano 7+ and P4'S DO NOT have well contact.

Do NOT Get it, no matter what.

The AX7 does not fit the P4 The AX478 does.

I had this problem, as many others did, your supposed to be able to rotate the heatsing 180degrees but it did not work for me and others.

i think im going to go with the dragon orb..that sound bad?

[rlemieux]

Yeah its worse than the stock, dont do that, your just wasting your money. The only three I would go with would be the Swiftech MCX4000, MCX478 or the Thermalright AX478

My vote goes for the Swiftech MCX4000. I have one and am getting great temps!
