Hey there everyone. I've decided to come back to the intel side of things for a while.
I just recently purchased an Intel Pentium D 940 CPU with the Presler core. (I don't know if the D's had any other cores)
My temperatures are very high! I thought it was amazing that the processor didn't shutdown. My idle temperature right now with a 70F ambient is 47C. i think that's extremely high. That's higher than my prescott was on Load!
I have a decent masscool HSF on there, but what would be a good choice, aside from extreme or liquid cooling, to get those temps down. I dare not test load yet, because I do know that the D's get hot, but I don't want to risk a death.
Thoughts?
