Best CPU cooling solution for asus p3v4x?

[hkssupra69]

I have a p3 550 overclocked to 733 and I have a Gorb on it but I'm not really satisfied with it. I know the temperature readings are probably jacked up but I'm pretty sure the temp average is 30-32 degrees celsius. I want to get like an Alpha or Taisol or something that will freeze my damn computer inside out =). I just want to make sure I'm not frying the damn cpu and I need your guys' opinions. I don't plan on spending more than 30 bucks so please help me out. thanks.

I have p3v4x also and I use the T3-REX-FAN from 3dfxCOOL

Good luck

I forgot. I am running a 600E overclocked to 800 and temp averages about 33-34C.

hkssupra i say an alpha pep66 would kick ass

 

[hkssupra69]

Would the alpha pep fit on my mobo without crowding the memory slots? I'm using a slocket for a fcpga, forgot to mention that. and how much do your guys' recommendations cost?

 

[lilstevo]

yea i used the alpha pep66 on my p3v4x with a iwill sloket II and p3 fcpga 700@933. It slightly blocks one dimm. Of course you shouldn't even be using that extra dimm since I think using all 4 dimms has slight problems or something. PEP66s sell on the forsale forums for like 20-25 shipped.

 

[hkssupra69]

what temps did you get with the pep66?

 

[lilstevo]

been awhile i don't remember exact numbers but I think they were in mid 30s to high 30s when cracking rc5 24/7

Go with the Alpha. I have a 700E o/c to 1.08 GHz and it is great.

 

[hkssupra69]

What temps do you get lifeguard?

 

[lifeguard1999]

25C at idle (depending on room temp of course)
35C at load
