What is te best method to extreme cool a Prescott P4 640 3.4Ghz. in a 775 system


Is a water setup the best option!

For overclocking or just stock speeds?

Overclocking..

My board AsUS P5WD2 Prem. has a nutrious prpblem whith theCPU temp at sock as it is.

Keeping it cool is difficult as it is .

I have a P4 540J and don't oc (much). The best air cooling I gotton so far (tried several) is with a Gigabyte GH-ED521 HSF. The 108 mm fan can crank up to about 3750 rpm and gives me 8-10 C lower than either the stock HSF or an AC freezer7 - idle in the 40s C, game in the 50s. Room temp 75-80F.

The situation is so bad that I think water is the way to go, for me.

The Waterchill Antartica T775 Cooler may solve the probllem, then I might be able to clock ! But it is gonna cost me if I go tto water cooling.

Gonna check out this Gigabyte GH-ED521 HSF specs...I have tryed loads as well..Zalman 700. Nexus PHT-7750 SkiveTek was a bit better but I think the 80mm fan let it down in the end....the ASUS star ice is like a F-17.

If you REALLY want extreme cooling for less, wait for the Zalman CNPS9500-Cu to debut in mid-September. It's air-cooled and can compete with almost all watercooling systems, except for the most extreme (Dangerden).

Triple or bigger cascade phase change.

The xp-120 with a panaflo 120mm fan is probably your best choice if you want to go air cooling.

The last time I checked, air and water don't fall under extreme cooling :boggle:

Air is standard. Water is a step up.

(High wattage) Peltier, phase change, liquid nitrogen, dry ice ... now those are extreme solutions.

liquid nitrogen!! Sounds lize an exellent soluton. How exactly do you incorporate it as a PC cooling method, how much does it cost, don't think my local computer shop will have any..lol

Do you mean I get those big cylinders.


Plz tell

Think you are very right b]Bona Fide the Zalman is totally wild and available soon..check it here Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower Cooler, Copper this is the one.
And beller and cheaper than a water sytem...

Thank you very muc for bringing it to my attention.

Safeway -> good call.

I actually know someone that makes dry ice/liquid nitrogen coolers. They are basically big copper cylinders, and the guy mills in little 'nubs' at the bottom for increased surface area.
