Socket 775 Cooling

[cloud9respect]

How hard is it to find a decent cooling solution without using a 3lb copper heatsink or watercooling for the socket 775?
With the stock heatsink and fan I have been running close to 50 degrees celcius on idle and almost 80 on load.
What can I do?

Thanks.

thats really bad
take off your side panel
60-65C is the most you would wanna go
You basically have 2 choices for optimal cooling
light and noisy
heavy and quiet

Do you have any case fans

Well, it is a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case with 4 fans. The side panel is an acrylic window with a fan. Noise does not really bother me, but what product is going to seriously lower the temparatures of this cpu? It is a 3.4 775.

Thanks.

have you reseated the heatsink / used thermal paste?

Well, I tried reapplying thermal paste and reseating the stock heatsink and my best idle temp is 45degrees celcius while my best full load temp is 69. Today I found an ordered a Zalman CNPS 7000B-CU and the ZM-CS1 clip for attachment to the 775. I also purchased a tube of Artic Silver 5. How much of that AS5 do I actually use with this new heatsink when I get it? Will this cool my CPU well?

Thanks.

The best thing to do would be to spread a VERY thin layer across the whole cpu die. That is quite a bit of thermal paste when it comes to p4's but it will guarentee a nice seal between the cpu and heatsink.

I followed their directions and put a large pea sized squeeze in the middle
Its a great heatsink and you will be very happy with it
I think u have the 3.4 right
well i'm guessing 40 idle 59 load
those were my temps when overclocking my 3.2 - 3.6

This is the only solution that i would be interested in at the moment.San Ace mc liquid, cooling the 775 socket t.

If anyone knows of something better please post it here.
The stock heatsink and the liquid cooled heatsink have the same motherboard securing hardware. I think this is because the stock heatsink and the liquid cooled one are from the same manufacturer. Correct me if i'm wrong? But i can't find anyone in North America that has one. Please help me find this. It looks like the only viable solution if you don't want a giant copper heatsink hanging from your brand new verticle motherboard. Not to mention what would happen if you ever dropped or banged this case hard!!! AAOUUCHH

For air cooling

Well, I think my problems are finally fixed.
With the Zalman pure copper heatsink and fan and using some artic silver 5, I have my 3.4 775 with the following temps:
Idle range: 39degrees min to 43degrees max (celcius)
Full Load range: 53degrees min to 60degrees max (celcius)
Is that good?

 

[lb19984]

see i hit the spot

Those are excellent temps for an air cooler 3.4GHz prescott.

To avoid confusion, the first paragraph is referring to the 775 processor. The second is a question about a 3.0e socket 478.

(775)
Hey guy's I was just about to post a similar question when I saw this one. I just read an article on THG I think this is a new article. If I understand correctly THG suggest two things (1)Use the thermal paste that comes stock with the CPU (2)The intel heatsink and fan are a good choice. Im not suggesting anything here, only asking for your thoughts and experiences!

(478
On a seperate issue, I am about to put my first system together. I thought that thermal paste was something you always added to any processor/heatsink. When I opened the box and took the processor out, I found that intel of course already has thermal paste applied. Shouldnt I stick with the thermal paste that comes stock with the intel processor?

Thanks

Hello from the Overheated P4 3.4 GHz 775 CPU,

I have had issues with overheating but found this to help solve my troubles:

http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/06/20/62085_62085.pdf

I actually don't have a case with this so I have improvised a bit and made my own Duct and have currently left the case open an I can now operate under heavy loads. Having fresh air for the CPU has greatly improved stability.

Has anyone else found any 3rd party parts like the spec in the link? Besides getting a whole new case? I'd like to retro fit my case with one but still haven't found one, I am really close to just making my own but would like a more complete or finished product.

You might want to upgrade ur HSF to upcoming zalman 7700
model(for true LGA775 socket) later.

7700 uses 120mm fan, it should be much quieter than 7000 series..but much heavier.

for now on my system i put thermalright xp-120 with LGA adapter. its HUGE but its light.

i think zalman will send their new model 7700 to THG soon for review

As far as i know its on road test now in korea.

dont try to read, just look at the picture ..🙂

or you can get silenx 120mm..looks like zalman.

but cooling performance is unknown..

You can blob it on half an inch thick and it will get smashed into a very thin layer. Ignore what you've heard, it's all bogus when it comes to todays thin compounds. I put on a dab and dabble it around with the point of the applicator so it's fairly spread out, then smash it flat with the cooler: same result, less waste, no mess.

Anyone still here heh. I was wondering what other 775 owners' base voltages in bios. I have the ABIT AA8 and a Soltek that both support 775, but on the ABIT the voltages all start higher than the Soltek's. (I think it has something to do with their CPU multi unlock) Anyway, I noticed the Soltek runs a lot cooler due to the smaller voltage I assume, and was just wondering where eveyone else is on this. Oh, ABIT starts at 1.38 CPU/ 1.6 NB, Soltek is 1.32CPU/1.5 NB.
