I have Pentium D 805, this is what I can tell you :
- quite heavy, I believe > 400gr
- the base is made of copper, but the fins are made of aluminium (I think)
- the fins quite thick (compared to Scythe Katana) and sharp. :(
- max speed I have had : 4500rpm
- no doubt it's f*ckin noisy

I, too, want to know more info on stock Intel 775 coolers as I'm swapping over from 478-pin. My interest is in quiet & warranty rather than frantic & expensive fails.

Currently I have four stock Intel 775 coolers ...

1) is small with an aluminium core, weight approx 330gm, 7-blade fan runs at approx 2,400rpm
2) is large with an aluminium core, weight approx 350gm, 9-blade fan runs at approx 2,200rpm
3) is small with a copper core, weight approx 460gm, 7-blade fan runs at approx 2,400rpm
4) is large with an copper core, weight approx 480gm, 9-blade fan runs at approx 2,200rpm

Pic of all four follows ... http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h216/Ray_GTI-R/PC/AllFourIncFansb.jpg

I also see this small-looking one for the EE965 is OK up to 4.26ghz - yes, on air! But no rpm/temperature info http://images.tomshardware.com/2006/03/22/pentium_extreme_edition_965/ee965_cooler.jpg

Also, I can lap these stock LGA heatsinks rather sucessfully ... http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h216/Ray_GTI-R/PC/ZzcuHeadOn1a.jpg

Any help on sorting these four heatsinks into some sort of standard processor upper limit would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Ray
(Where I'm coming from ... Abit IC7-MAX3 running a 30-capper 2.8C & stock, lapped, Intel EE HSF & ShinEtsu Microsi paste - the fan is set to run at 60% through the Abit BIOS and does 1,240rpm, CPU idle temp 39C ambient temp 25C ... think "very, very quiet")

Three things ...

a) check the CPU fan speed in RPM (via Sandra, MBM, ASUS PC Probe or if no windows software is available, from the ASUS BIOS - shown in "PC Health" I believe) - what speed does the fan operate at?
b) the Intel fans all have a code printed on the holographic logo in white ink e.g., C25897-001, C25704-002, C91968-002 etc. What does your fan show?
c) when you say "got a greenish center" do you mean the centre of the fan (the label itself) is green?

Cheers, Ray

a) 1600~1605 RPM

b)Can't check, sorry.

c) Label, yeah.

OK, next time it's convenient can you publish the fan code? A pic (or preferably a link to a pic - I'm on a 56k modem at the mo') would be much appreciated. Post here or PM is fine. Cheers, Ray

Yeah - no rush whatsoever! I've been on this trail for weeks and am content to get whatever info I can & whenever I can. Sorry I couldn't help with your original question. Cheers, Ray

Ill give you info on the stock cooler:

it runs at about 2400 rpm

its noizy

its a pain in the ass to put in and to take out. Those 4 push pins are sooo dam finnnicky.

Many thanks, wun911,

The RPM's sound right for the "large" Intel cooler.

The noise problem seems strange - is it noisy at 2400rpm or just when it's being asked to do loads of work, like hours playing a "big" game, when it might me revving-up well beyond 2400rpm?

I hear you very well about the push pins - worst thing Intel ever made. Why Oh Why do they go for these complex assemblies when much simpler, more robust solutions are so easy to envisage and have been done by aftermarket providers? (Rhetorical question)

Some MBs have the ability in BIOS to reduce the rpm of the fan when the CPU is idle or cool, otherwise it will always spin at 2400rpm.

In my opnion the stock intel cooler is noizy compared to say a zalman 7700 with a 2000rmp fan.

Its not like you will get a masive headache with an intel fan... if you dont oc it it will surfice temperature wise just leave it and save the money.

Yeah - I know what you mean!

I've tried all four of those Intel fans and IMHO they're quiet enough @ 2,200/ 2,400prm to be drowned by other noise ... when used for day-to-day tasks. But they will get "busy" when things aren't right ... or when the CPU is running at 100%.

Is there any info on the stock upper processor speed limits for those four Intel HSF's? (See msg# 8 above)

sounds odd 8O

I had one fail when the 920 first hit the market.
but switched to zalman for overclock reasons.
whas your temps ?
might not be seated correctly

that vcore is insane.
even idle.
cpu fan a little low but idle will be lower.
what mobo do you have ?
if you have pc probe II load it and get all the voltages .
if not download from the asus site.
you need to check the psu voltages (12 volt rail)
might be failing.
disable Q fan if laoded in bios to stabalize.
