Recently found out that my P4 1.6@2.4 system seems to have stability problem because of high temp
my cpu temp raise from 35C to around 56-57C aftering a few min of Prime95 and the test fail after 15-20min.
I was using the stock HSF because of how quiet it was, but after puting on my old AVC sunflower back on the CPU, the stability problem went away, and the cpu temp raise only from 33C to around 49C and prime 95 is still running after 8 hours.
So, need to decide if I should get a new and quiet heatsink (the avc sunflower is quite loud with my existing 4x 80mm NMB 22dba fans, 120mm Delta 34dba fan, Powermax 500W PSU) and it have to perform better than the P4 stock heat sink, but not more than a avc sunflower. If anyone own any of the following, please advise. Thanks
here are my choices
1. AX-478 with a quiet Panaflo L1A fan or anything lower than 30dba
2. Alpha 8942 with a quiet panaflo L1A fan or anything lower than 30dba (Not prefer unless only it's the only choice since it's difficult to mount)
3. Volcano 7+ (good with 3 settings so I can turn it up only when I need it, and a plus since it is compatible with socket A, so but I heard bad reviews for it)
4. Arctic Silent 4 TC (I heard from review that it's very quiet, but don't know how well it cools, it's cheap ($15))
So which one would perform the best or should I upgrade to. Thanks for input.
