passive p4 heatsink

[Loco3KGT]

I haven't seen any specific threads on this. OCX makes a passive heatsink :http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/heatsink_specs.php?id=4

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience

Uh, that is very very risky, never heard of any modern procs, beside Cyrix, run cool enough for a fanless heatsink that small. Just take a look at the Zalman flower, that thing is huge.

Turns out it works, but only up to 2GHz. I've found a few people using it on 1-1.3GHz celeries with no probs.

Since i'm looking for a silent P4 2.5GHz hsf (and I got a pointer from another anand member) this won't cut it.

That looks a little small to really work. You will definetly not be doing any overclocking.

I grew out of the overclocking thing when the parents stopped supporting my substance abuse problem with computers

OCZ P4 Eliminator

P4 eliminator is right,I wouldnt trust that tiny thing to cool my P4.

Check out this article. They're using a Zalman to passively cool a P4 2.8. Well, it's not totally passive. They use a duct to an exhaust fan, also.

LOL that looks like a regular copper heatsink. They just took out the fan....

The heatsink is likely for 1U rackmount application. You only have 25mm of height to mount a heatsink and a fan.

The duct-fitted "passive" heatsink that dell uses is bigger than that...I have a spare

I have been debating if I should get that. But for some reason P) I do not trust it.
