Hi, I currently have a swiftech mcx478-V heatsink with a Vantec Tornado 92mm fan. I have it running at 6400rpm constant and I get idle temp of 48c and Load around 59C. It runs at these temps even when my cpu is slightly oc'd. I'm trying to OC around 4ghz but my temp just gets too hot for me. I've had this heatsink for over a year and have been pretty disappointed. I have very good airflow in my case (7 fans) so I know thats not the problem. There is also no cable clutter for it is all managed well. I'm also using Arctic Silver 5 heatsink compound.
My computer right now is extremely loud and everyone that comes within 50 feet of it complains about how loud it is. I'm not looking for silence but something very very quiet because I just can't take the noise anymore.
From my understanding the Prescott series CPU's run pretty hot. My goal is to get my CPU to run under 48c LOAD. Money is also not a limit. I was looking at the Thermalright SP-94 (which is kind of old) or the newer XP-90C. Not sure on what fan quite yet. Preferbly one below 40db I suppose. Thanks for any responses.
Setup:
Motherboard: Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (socket 478)
Heatsink: Swiftech mcx478-V w/92mm Vantec Torando fan 6400rpm
CPU: Intel p4 3.2 prescott
Memory: 1GB PC3500 Performance Series Dual-channel OCZ Optimized Kit
bios ver 1018.
Video Card: Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
I don't feel like listing anything else....
