Red Hot P4 3.0

[BradAtWork]

My P4 3.0 gets crazy hot in summer. Room temps can get to 30c+.

When playing games my P4 will hit 80c+ and throttle.

It was one of the very first Prescott cores, so its a POS.

I have got some arctic silver 5, but that only helped a little bit.

Whats the best aftermarket 478 heatsink I can get?

I want something as quite as possible.

I was going to get a Tuniq Tower but they seem to be hard to come by here in Australia.

Any ideas?

What about a Zalman CNPS9500LED? I can get an OEM one for $75AU.

If you'll pardon the pun, Prescotts were probably the hottest chip ever made!

Go with your first choice -- the Tuniq Tower 120.

Keep an eye on CoolPC in Brisbane. They get a pretty consistent supply of them, but they don't last long, so...

I was using the 9500 LED on mine, 3.9ghz stable. I think temps maxed out around 50. Tuniq would be even better.
