prescott / heatsink cooler

what's the best aftermarket cooler for the prescott cpu?

mckennaiii, I have the SP 94 and a 92MM fan and it works well

You might want to look at the links in my signature for some tips on how to keep a prescott cool As the stock HSF is not a bad unit if you feed it cool air

Good Luck

i should have stated in the subject [LGA775] cpu.

Have you asked "Batboy" ?

Maybe send him a PM as he has been working on one of these

Good Luck

There are very few HS's out for the LGA775 socket so far, and only one design actually functions well. Unfortunately, it's a 3 lb chunk of copper from Thermaltake and several reviews said that it would make their PCB's flex... definetely not a good idea if you plan to move your pc around at all.

The other coolers are basically offshoots of the stock Intel cooler and function just about as well. There may be a LGA775 HS that I missed, but the article I read on them didn't mention any good one's at the time.

I'd recommend waiting until Thermalright comes out with a bracket for the LGA775 socket and then buy one of those... gives you time to save your money anyway

Thermalright should have their brackets available very soon.

thermalright and zalman will have thire LGA775 adapters available in the next two weeks. both companies contacted with yesterday with this info.

I love my Zalman CNPS7000A. Its super quiet and keeps my Prescott really cool.

high load temps

Although I do agree with your statement I have an interesting dilemma. depending on room temp i run at 45-50C idle for both cpu and pwm. But the kicker is on full load, be it Doom 3/Madden2005 or a benchmark software i quickly see both the pwm and cpu temps to 70 and begining to beep and give off all sorts of warnings. now I know abit reports high so I am using mbm5. So I guess my question is what kind of load temps do u get and has anyone heard of similar problems.


Waiting for the darn 05 msutang GT to ship already....

girls right thats how it works?

[edit]I am using the Zalman all copper heatink as well on a prescott 3.0 running on an Abit ai7 with 512RAM and a Radeon 9500 pro. I have the passive zalman northbridge cooler and the Zalman heatpipe on the vid card with optional fan... Yea I like Zalman stuff... and panaflo fans in and out[/edit]
