Nerwin Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I have the 3.2Ghz and I use the Cooler Master / Hyper 48Link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...9&sku=C283-1038Works very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possy_99 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 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.

eyeball Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) cool, thanks computermanwhats your idle/load temps like?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.iv heard the retail fan that comes with it is very poor... if your a temperature freak anyway lol Edited January 16, 2006 by eyeball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possy_99 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 My full Load temp around 45 degrees celciusAnd Idle is around 35- 37 degrees celciusI've had no significant problems with mine.

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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?My full Load temp around 45 degrees celciusAnd Idle is around 35- 37 degrees celciusI've had no significant problems with mine.

Vitalix Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalix Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 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 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
