Cpu fan

[JebusMonkies]

Im looking in buying a new HSF for my cpu, coz currently im using a stock hsf and its not that great.
is see on sites, on cpu fans, its says, p4 2.6+ or and higher
im running a p4 1.8 so doesnt it really matter that its made for 2.6 or higher, or should i look for one made for the 1.8?

Yeah, it will work on the 1.8P4, so long as you have the appropr\iate mounting mechanism on your motherboard.

does the hsf differ between the socket423 and socket478 mobos?

[JebusMonkies]

probably, but i think all p4s use 478

Could Some one suggest a good HSF for under $50 for a p4

, on cpu fans, its says, p4 2.6+ or and higher What this means is that this HSF can handle a P4 2.6 Ghz CPU chip. A 2.6 Ghz CPU will make more heat than your 1.8A (Well if it is the same chip design but upped speeds anyways). So a 2.6 Ghz rated HSF will do better than 1.8 Ghz rated HSF [If that is their maximal ratings].

does the hsf differ between the socket423 and socket478 mobos? Very different which is why HSF companies bring out two different versions of the same HSF. One for Socket A and one for Socket 478.

What are your cpu temp's with the stock cooler.. are you overclocking the P41.8 .. to what speed?

The words: good, under $50 and quiet.. don't really go together in a sentence when talking about heatsinks/fans

im not worried about the fan being quiet, i have 4 normal fans in my com at the moment and the side is off and i cant hear it at all
