Cooling for Pentium 4 560

[sacoops]

Hi. The stock fan that came with my pc and my pentium 4 560 is always blowing so loudly it's getting annoying. I have heard from others that this chip is notoriously hot. What cooling solution would you advise me to get?

Oh Yes, the Infamous "Prescott" (Core that Ruined Intel) Well The Stock Speed and Heat your producing the best solution woulda be Water Cooling. Any other form of Fan cooling would be a short coming for the "Prescott" .

PS.My friend that was running his 3.0Ghz Dell "prescotts" is getting system crashes every hour. He Complained to Dell Canada. and they told him that is is a Intel issue and should get in contact with them. He won't listen to me and my Explanation on why "Prescott" cores Are just like that "They Ruined Intel, So they most likely will just tell him to Get another Pentium or just upgrade his processer to another Core.

BTW** It's 42*C In Toronto. He's running with no A/C

This thing did wonders for my P4 630. Currently 33C. It's even cheaper than when I bought it and free shipping right now. I hated the stock Intel HS/F and the thermal paste was too thick. I've heard that the 5XX series can run a bit warmer than the 6XX and yours is clocked much higher than mine, so you might need something more. What are your temps w/ the stock?

THG recentley tested replacement coolers for amd 939s. This one came top.

Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower (Socket 939/754/478/775) CPU Cooler (HS-015-ZA

It fits Intel socket 775 too.

I fitted a hyper 48 to my P4 540, very quiet.

If was doing it today I'd go with the Zalman.

Thanks. I'm worried that the Zalman won't fit into my case. Are there any other options? is a fan always going to be noisy with my CPU?

The Zalman is overpriced.

The Arctic Cooling another posted would be a good choice if it fits, so would the Scythe Katana SCKTN-CU1000 if it fits.

The Thermalright XP-90 would be a good choice as well and you can select from several different recommended fans when ordering through Sidewinder.

i have a 550 and the Asus P5GDC-V, so i know exactly what you're going through. my idle was 52c and load was 68c, which would cause the cpu to throttle. I of course replaced the stock fan right away, but those temperatures above were with a zalman cooler!!! overclocking was just out of the question.

Now it seems as though you have two options here...

1-watercooling (if you have a small case, this might be the only option)
2-GIANT heatsink

I went with number 2.
I got the Thermaltake Big Typhoon, which is a monster of a heatsink, but believe me when i tell you it works wonders. Idle is now 38c, load 49c. When i overclock from 3.4ghz to 3.68ghz, load temp goes up by 2c.

another thing to consider is your case's layout. a case with the power supply directly above the heatsink will NOT help, put your finger between the two and feel for yourself.
the other thing would be to get good case fans, i'm running 3 120mm fans, which can run quietly because they push more air per RPM.
