db of stock intel P4 heatsink fan?

[Carl Uman]

Does anyone know what the db of the stock intel P4 2.4GHz 533 from Malay is? I just read in another post that it is 42.5 db but that seems high.

I'm thinking about getting The Zalman CNPS7000-alcu.

Thanks,
Carl

I ordered the Zalman CNPS7000-Cu (same thing only pure copper instead of copper/aluminum mix). I'm using it on a P4 2.4Ghz 533, and its the best thing I could find at a reasonable price. Cost me $43, I think the AlCu is a little bit cheaper. Anyways, I read that the Zalman CNPS7000 models are 20~25 db, so I would go with that if I was you. Unless of course you like your PC to be noisy

Yep, the CNPS7000-alcu is what I'm reasonably sure I'm getting. Just wanted to be sure my expectations over stock were reasonable. Also I decided on the alcu version because from the reviews I've seen it is just as good or better than the cu version. Plus it is within Intels specs for max wieght (<450g).

Thanks
