I'm just starting my Intel build and just got my p4p800. I plan on overclocking it pretty much as far as it will go but I'm worried about the passive cooling on the NB. How well does this work? Should I go ahead and get it a new active cooled one or not? Any input would be great, thanks.

Also is there a sensor for getting temps off the NB?

you don't need much more. Just take off the stock heat sink, lap it, aplly as5 or as3, and stick a fan on it. You could get a tiger1 or that new swiftech nb hsf, but it wouldn't make much of a difference unless your nb is running realy hot.

Hi,

Recently I replaced stock CPU fan with a Zalman CNPS 7000. This fan is wonderful but its huge dimensions doen't allow me to stick a fan on NB. So, I took the older stock cpu fan and place it "near" the NB as close as I can. So now it is "sitting" on graphic card and bottom of it is almost touching to NB but top of it is nearly an inch away from the NB.

Do you think it will work?

wow that kind of scared me but you have a different mobo dude, we are talking about the p4p800.
Can you show us a pic of what you did?
I think it should work to some extent... not as well though, obviously.

Well, I thought that P4P800 and P4C800 has the same construction. Anyway, even they haven't, HSpartially-F is better than HS I guess( tough HSF would be better). You can try something too. I will send a pic soon.

I went ahead and bought a Swiftech wb for it since the rest will be watercooled as well. I figured what the hell we will see.

However, you know how stupid we overclockers are... rarely ever satisfied.

I think this is true

switching from the crappy stock nb cooler to the swifty waterblock will probably make a pretty big impact. My friend couldn't boot over 275 with a p4p800 at first, then i put a fan on the nb. That got him to 280. Then I lapped the nb, and that got like 283. Then he switched to the swiftech air nb block and got 287 i think. Pretty big difference from stock.
