Thermaltake is BEAST

[roguerower]

Well, i finally got around to buying a new Thermaltake Spark 7+ HSF and i love it. I previously had idle temp of 75 C on a Prescott PGA478 3.0Ghz CPU (i dont know why that hight). But with the new one and the variable speed control nob, it is tight. I think me just twisting the nob back and forth will be more entertaining than any game (severe ADD)

LOL, that's NORMAL for a PresHott.

Seriously.

Umm you smoking something wisdom? He said idle of 75C. The load temp shouldnt even reach that high.

The PresHott is the thing that's smoking, dude. Literally. :laugh:

Yeah, i have an ASUS board and i just ran the record program that has a temp recorder. Jumped above 45 a handful of times, but staying solid at 40-42 idle.

I had the same problem with my 3.2 prescott recently. I found it's really the crappy, crappy thermal pad that is to blame. Check out my previous thread:
