socket 775 heatsinks

[imported_obgow]

I have a pentium 4 3.4ghz d915pbl motherboard(socket 775). I am running the stock intel heatsink and am getting temps up to 78 celsius full load. I dont want to spend the money on water cooling, so I am looking at heatsinks. The newest reviews of socket 775 heatsinks I could find on google were a couple of months old. I was wondering if anybody has experience with any of the newer heatsinks, or heatsinks that have worked well for this socket. if so could you give me the heatsink name, what your temps were with the stock heatsink, and what they are with the aftermarket heatsink(at full load).

Nothing is better than the Thermalright XP-120. I'm 43c degrees at load. Just make sure it'll fit your mobo.

I have the same setup as you. Just ordered the XP120. I'll post how it does when I get it and install it.

Well I ordered the thermaltake silent 775 from newegg ill see how that works and post my results. Texaspsdx I see that your using the heat sink that i just ordered, but your ordering the xp120. What were your results with the thermaltake? were they not good?

As per the other's suggestion, I'd suggest the Thermalright XP120.

The thermaltake helped. I don't play games, so I do not put a heavy load on it. Surfing web and using word processing, my cpu temp's are 50-54 C. Idle around 48C. Just thought I would play around and see if I could get to low 40's.

I installed the thermaltake silent 775. I am getting around 43-46c idle and 60-63c full load. Im not too impressed, I might have to take your guy advice and try out that xp-120.

 

[imported_obgow]

hey tesaspsdx let me know what your temps are with that xp-120.

 

[texaspsdx]

Maybe the weekend before I get to change it out. I'll post back then.

43C is impressive, I'm using the same MB, HS. I get 57C running Intel 650, 253x17=4300 @ 1.5 Vcore. Even on stock 3.4G @ 1.4 Vcore I get load temps of 48C. Which fan are you using to cool your XP120? What are your ambient temps?
