Hi Guyz,
One quick question regarding the installation of a q6600 stock cooler on e8400.
I have a E8400 CPU ( yes, quite old platform now ) with that skinny stock cooler. My temps are staying around 38 at idle and around 50-55 on heavy load. There might been some periods when the cpu was going around 60 but not for long.
I am planning to change the cooler to a better one and i can get a Q6600 stock cooler. Before i get that one ( for free from a friend ) i wanna know if there is someone that actually installed that tall cooler from Intel on a 65W cpu and if so what are the results?
I am expecting to get those temps down with that tall cooler. Might there be a chance to go with 5-10 degrees lower with that cooler ?
I know that there are some other alternatives using aftermarket cooler but for me Intel's stock cooler is quite ok with the noise produced.
Thanks!
