Hi.
Sorry to darken peoples days with old primitive S478 stuff, but I am after a new cooler to cool my 3.4 EE S478 processor (well, my currently running at 3.8 Intel EE processor!).
I have what I think is an old ThermalRight SLK-900U, which accepts a single 70/80/92mm on the top of it blowing air directly down through the fins.
At the moment I have a Delta 80mm fan mounted on top of this which puts out a whopping 80.1CFM apparently, but it does spin at 5625-5818 in order to achieve this and the downside is a very loud (53dBA) noise. In fact, the best way to describe the sound this machine currently makes is to compare it to a high end HP Proliant server. If the PC is on in my living room, then I can still hear the fans if I walk into my bedroom!
I bought this cooler around 2003/4, and I know that there are a lot of much better cooling solutions out there (such as solutions where a 120mm fan can be used, which should be much quieter than this Delta turbine I currently have!) but the problem I am having is finding a S478 cooler that will fit - when I installed the ThermalRight, I had to remove the usual cooler mount and fit this special ThermalRight one and as I did this five years ago I have now lost the original S478 cooler mount. So I need an S478 cooler that requires motherboard removal to fit rather than clipping on, or one that uses the same screw mount as the ThermalRight cooler.
My CPU ides in XP at around 42°C, going upto between 48-52°C under load. All I am really after is a cooler that with a quieter 120mm fan will be able to achieve this kind of cooling (of course, anything more would be a lovely bonus and might allow me to extract a tiny bit more of an overclock out of my CPU) but without the awful loud noise that this PC currently makes - and a cooler that comes with it's own customer mounting brackets as opposed to clipping into the normal S478 cooler clips as I don't have them!
Thanks in advance
