CPU HEATSINK

[w3aponkng]

Hey guys,

The current Heatsink that is installed in my computer is a Taisol 12V DC Ball Bearing 70mm heatsink that came originally with my Gateway 838GM. I've been replacing and upgrading my system for a while and now the CPU and core temps are going up.

Im looking for a new heatsink possibly -

Would this fit?? I believe I have a 478 socket?? But how would can i find out for sure??

(Pentium 4HT 3.0GHz Processor 630)

Otherwise, what other GOOD and preferably around $40-70 heatsink plus fans are good???

Thanks!

Hmmmm

i think the only way to find out the socket type is take off your current heatsink and look at the processor

if its a P4 with pins its 478

if its a P4 with no pins then its LGA 775\

sorry if this is vague but i hope this helps

sorry for double posting on you

but the best way i can describe it is:

if the top of the processor looks like an AMD its 478

if it looks like this then its an LGA 775( has two indents on the processor head)
