Best heatsink that fits IT7-Max2?

[MrMajestic]

What is the best heatsink that will fit the IT7-Max2? Have a new board coming next week together with a 2.4 P4 and a stick of Corsair PC3200 CAS2. Also, since I'm new to the Intel scene (was AMD before), what is considered high temp. on an 2.4 CPU?

[phantom punisher]

Thermaltake Volcano 7+
I have it runnig on an IT7E

you realy have a "E" model? ive never actualy seen one what are they?

I was kinda leaning towards the Alpha PAL8942. Sure, the Swiftech monster is nice, but its too expensive here in Sweden. Costs an arm, a leg and a couple of toes

Ill second that!

Thermaltake 7+ all the way, but and a big BUT indeed, USE something like Arctic Silver 3.

[email protected] with 1.575v core, (idle 39c full load 50-51c)

it seems to have gone down abit today tho. full load have only got to 48c today, but maybe because my house is freezing today lol.

I got my board today. Still using the Intel heatsink that was included with the CPU. this board rocks, by the way.

CoolerMaster IHC-H71

I am using a CoolerMaster IHC-H71

my 2.5g is running at 3.1g at 1.575 volts, temp is 46°C under load (1hour+ of 3dMark 2001).

I am able to boot and get about 1/3 of the way through 3dMark at 3.2g using 1.625 volts and running around 47°C.

Haven't tried a higher voltage at 3.2g.

I am very pleased with the CoolerMaster

I would also vote for the Swiftech MCX4000
Works great!
