Cooling for LGA 775

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

I am planning on overclocking my 2.8GHz prescott cpu, but even at default
settings the cpu is hitting above 60 C during a full load with the intel
fan/heatsink. Is there an inexpensive solution to the heat problems? Or
would a heatpipe cooling solution be better. And while I'm on the subject
of cooling, is there a good NB cooler out there? I have an Albatron board,
which I have read benefits from upping the NB voltage when overclocking.
Thanks for any help!
Chris

Believe it or not, 60 C is normal for any (Prescott)
Under full load @ 60 C is doing really well.
I've read reports of up to 70 C on air.
Those things just run hot, that's the way it is.
If you want it cooler, the only ways to do this are water
and other cooling methods.
