Prescott 3.2 is getting very HOT

I am thinking about changing the way it works.
I am thinking of this
Have CPU cooling blow air out; not in (Retail Intel cooling fan)
Then have shround comes over the fan
which goes to case; where Case fan blow air out.
The reason I want to do it is.
In front of the computer there is no provsiong for air inlet.
I have P/W supply fan blowing air out.
Cause have small holes on the Side.
So I can't create good AirFlow channel.
Atleast on this it will blow the Air out and there will not too much dust in it
What you all think ?
 
i dont think you should change the way the fan blows on the heatsink. those heatsinks are specifically designed to work a specific way, and when they dont run that way, they dont work. just get a better hsf.
 
Do not reverse the direction of the HS fan. You need air blowing on the HS.

The best way to cool a Prescott is a side fan with a thermal vent.
Also one of the exit fans needs to be close enough to quickly remove the warm air from the HS area.
 
Ok I didn't reverse the flow
I just flow on it
By adding case fan air going through little shroud 🙂
On Idle its 40 degree
 
On what socket are you? If 478, get a Vantec Aeroflow. It is very quiet, runs at 5600rpm. I use it in my Prescott 3.0E GHz in an Antec OVERTURE case(not a super ventiled case). My CPU is 37 celcius degrees in idle, and go MAX at 52 celcius degrees at full load(encoding XviD).

That heatsink is loud, especially at 5600RPM. I had one on my old XP 2500+ and I had to get a Zalman FanMate to turn down the fan speed.
 
Man this is SUCKS.
My Intel CPU cooling DIED!😱:|:thumbsdown:
I installed my other Prescott 3 Gig Intel CPU Cooler.
Shit That Fan can't keep it up
Its not going below 45 🙁
I think its running at FULL SPEED!
Sound like I have a JET Engine in it. :frown:
I need to get an Aftermarket cooler for 478.
Its has to be quiet. Should able to keep Temp at 35 on IDLE
maybe 55 at MAX load 😕 or less 🙂

Who cares what the temps are as long as it's stable and not throttling. My Northwood 3.2 @ 3.6 runs beatifully at 59C load (and it runs 100% load 24\7). As for the noise, Zalman 7x00 series coolers are great.

It's ~35 dB-A at full speed.... I am using it, with the ASUS Q-Fan control, so it's always running silently around 4200rpm. It will only go up to 5600rpm, when it's getting hot.

4200RPM is not silent, just not as loud as everything else around you.

Exactly, you still hear something, thus it's NOT SILENT. That puny 70mm fan is going to be much louder than an 80, 92, or 120mm fan pushing the same amount of air.
 
That's why it call presHOT. If you can handle the HOT issue, then you'll be ok.

Remember to choose for heatsink with balance of noice, performance & price.
 
Prescotts run hot. I had to go to water cooling to keep my 3.4ghz prescott from throttling at stock speeds. My 3.2 and 2.8 get to around 63c under load, which isn't bad. 70c is where throttling kicks in.
