Old aluminum heatsink for q8300 processor

[antoniskowron2304]

Will aluminum heatsink from duo e7500 be sufficient for quad q8300? I heard that q8300 is colder than higher number processors. Can someone confirm that? My current temperature from e7500 under max pressure oscillates in 55-61C range.

e7500's tdp is 65 watts, q8300's tdp is 95 watts. That's a fairly sizeable jump, I'm not 100% sure if the q8300 would be safe under full load or not. You could probably get some decent used lga775-compatible heatsink for $10 or less if you had to.

Then, what heatsink to buy? My old heatsink has Dell cover. I have optiplex 780mt.
