In the article regarding the heatproblems with the intel pentium processor 560 S775 3,6GHz the following was written:
"Using the virgin Intel boxed cooler, the processor will certainly run within its specified parameters even under high workload. However, dismounting the cooler forces the user to clean the processor and the cooler surface in order to deploy a fresh thermal compound - which is exactly where problems begin.
If you decide to use a common thermal compound product, its thermal conductivity won't be good enough to cope with the thermal loss spawned by Intel's Pentium 4 top models 550 and 560. Users will end up having a 3.6 GHz processor that needs to throttle for thermal reasons."
I recently purchased a computer with this processor, and i immediately reacted to the idle temperature with the boxed-cooler. The temperature never went below 68 degrees celcius. After reading alot about the processor and cooling, i decided to buy a new cooler.
I bougt the ThermalTake 775 Silent cooler with a 90mm fan, and Arctic Silver 5 cooling compound.
The results are in complete opposite to the article. My idle temperature is now 53 degrees celsius, and my load temperature has never, that i know of, reached a higher temperature than 69 degrees.
My boxed-cooler was different from the one in the video that is included in the article. Has intel changed the cooler, or is the cooler on my cpu mounted by HP, witch i bought the pc from?
The reason i ask is only because of the difference in results from the article and my results, and because the article "recommends" users to stick to the original boxed cooler. Witch i think would be wrong if the reality is the complete opposite.
If anyone else with simmilar CPU's has any comments or experiences on this field, please let me know =)
