P4 1.4Ghz and cooling?

[Athmroken]

Hello there,

I'm putting together a PC, and though I've had experience at it before, it was all with cartridge CPUs.

Now I'm putting one together that has a socket type CPU. I ordered the OEM version, and it comes with nothing on it (e.g. heat sink or fan).

I'm going to be attaching this processor to an Asus P4T MB, and it'll be in the new Inwin case designed for the P4.

My BIG BIG (and probably totally simple) question is:

Does this CPU run cool enough to not need a heat sink and fan? My first suspicion is that it's safest to have them on . . . but this is my first time working at the depth. I'm not sure what to do, but would rather learn to do it myself (without frying the chip).

Can anyone share their knowledge on this?

You have to run the P4 with a heatsink fan. It will burn up fast.
How about this heatsink.

Thanks a ton for the info! That does look like a solid performer.

If I were to get this, I take it I should be getting thermal compound to use as part of the installation to ensure the surfaces move heat consistently? I'd definitely go for the cooler system and anything else I need to do, but I really do want to make sure I'm prepared. Do coolers come alone or do they have a decent set of instructions for novice installers?
