[GAVP]

Hello Friends of the forum, I plan to buy a processor prescott 2.8 or of 3.0 Ghz in socket 478, my question is:

If you want less heat, buy a Northwood core 2.8 or 3.0.

Re: Prescott and excessive hot

I am just curios, what is the noise difference between say a 3200 Prescott stock cooler, and an AMD 3200+ stock cooler?

I doubt the difference is deafening.

Like I have said before, I have not had any stability problems due to my Prescott 3200 in terms of heat or anything else.
I use GigaByte's 3D Cooler Pro, which has variable speed fan, and I can run it at 3000rpm and heat is not a problem. My computer room, is an office in my garage, so I modded an A/C duct, but it is not sufficient cooling for comfort, so I also leave a window open.

I would recon, side by side, AMD and Prescott, given stock coolers, in a warm environment and stressed, that the AMD would start giving stability problems due to heat before the Prescott. Due in part to Prescotts higher heat threshold.

I haven't heard Either the 3200Mhz P4 OR the XP3200+ HSFs, but I have heard the difference between the Northwood 2.8 and scotty 2.8. Northwood is very quiet. Prescott is pretty noisy. Not as noisy as my Volcano 7+ was on full speed, but probably similar to how it was on medium....

It's also loads louder than the stock XP2500+ HSF. That's the highest rated XP chip that I've heard the stock fan for.
