hi all

at the end of this month im getting the aforementioned 3.0ghz p4 skt 775 and i am wondering who has one? and what cooler they use? or recommend? also looking for ppls temperatures with this processor or any comments at all
thank you

[Nerwin]

I have the 3.2Ghz and I use the
Cooler Master / Hyper 48

Works very good.

I'm running a 3ghz P4, using the bundled intel heatsink and fan. I can't advise of my temp as I'm at work at the moment, I can tell you it'll be quite warm though as my "box" (which isn't quite a box) has a perspex lid and not many ventilation holes.

cool, thanks computerman
whats your idle/load temps like?

iv heard the retail fan that comes with it is very poor... if your a temperature freak anyway lol

I've had no significant problems with mine. A little on the noisy side but never had any blue screens or anything as a result of over heating, I generally do alot of video encoding overnight too. I have considered buying a better one but my only reason so far was the noise it puts out. Thanks for the heads up anyway

[Nerwin]

My full Load temp around 45 degrees celcius

And Idle is around 35- 37 degrees celcius

The one that came with mine died, When i took it out it burned my fingers! Thats how hot it was! and mine was also very load Too.

thats the reason im getting mine! (well that and multiple virtual pc's) hows long does it take to encode a full movie then? around an hour im guessing (or hoping rather) and does encoding render your pc otherwise useless? or can u do other stuff too?

lol im definatly changing the fan, atm i have a coolermaster jet 7 i think it is on my athlon 2600+ it keeps its dead cool its unreal oh btw i also have 6 hdds in the same case as this and a radeon 9600 which proves that coolermasters really are good!

If you want total silence (and don't mind taking out the motherboard to load the backplate), the Thermaltake Big Typhoon is nearly silent and will cool anything to near water cooling levels.
We call it the Hemi. Here's a one or two pics about it's install on my Soyo board.

[eyeball]

that typhoon is huge!
what are the idle load temps like on it? must be good its got a gap between the plate thing and the actuall heatsink and i can only see this increasing airflow

[Vitalix]

Mine idles at about 32C, and at load (Prime95 for a couple hours) reaches up to about 46C on space heater (aka Prescott) 3.4E 478 pin CPU. You can touch the base of the HSF at any point (load or no load) and it's cold at idle, and barely warm at load. The heatpipes do a great job.

[eyeball]

hmm... now im torn between 2 coolers, the typhoon is the cheapest one though, but im not 100% sure it would fit in my case as i have a fan blowing air in directly opposite the cpu, hmm what to do?
and thanks for the input guys

[jcarle]

I have a Pentium 4 630 (3.0GHz, 2MB, 800FSB) and it thermal spec'd at 67.7 deg C, and it runs at 60 deg C at full load using the stock heatsink.

wow thats pretty warm, id be freaking out if mine was that hot. lol. does anyone know what temperature you can safely run one up to?

[ripken204]

its an intel, they run hot

i recommend this cooler

interesting choice there ripkin what are ur temps like? iv always wanted to try a cooler like this, but never dared... does it have no fans whatsoever? **shudder at the thought of a fanless cpu **

[ripken204]

i have and amd opteron so my mobo doesnt report accurate temps....
but you WILL have to buy a fan for it. according to reviews it is about the same as a BT and quiter.

[eyeball]

iv just bought this one (the bottom one, hyper6+)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Onl...master_122.html

i was going to go with the one above it, but i read a review on a site i found that compared the 2 and a few more and this one won so i got it. its gonna be noisy tho, but noise isnt something i mind with my pc so its all good

thanks for the help guys

now i just have to wait till the end of the month so i have enough for the cpu

[jcarle]

The thermal guideline from Intel is the highest temperature rating that the CPU can safely operate at without damage. I'm a full 7 deg C below the treshhold, so I'm not worried.

[eyeball]

i didnt mean it like "you should be worried" i was just saying that im a temperature freak and would put my pc in a chest freezer if i could afford it just to keep it cool lol
