CPU Fans and heatsinks
I have heard that the stock fan and heatsink that come with Intel cpu's is
not a very good setup. Can someone recommend a good setup for a Core2Quad Q6600 to go on a Asus P5E3 Deluxe motherboard? I would like something close to the original setup, but of better quality.

CPU Fans and heatsinks
Zalman and Thermaltake are two of the most popular manufacturers. Take a
look through the huge selection at NewEgg.com and just read the user reviews. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Red Dog" wrote in message ...

CPU Fans and heatsinks
The original is fine as long as you aren't doing any overclocking. Even at
that, many have had some good success with the stock cooler. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Red Dog" wrote in message ...

I would like something close to the original setup, but of better quality. I found that heat tends to recirculate around the CPU and its coolers. Not much leaves the area. I was having trouble getting my CPU temperature out of the 60 degree C. area when I'm running FSX. So I bought a 120mm adjustable speed fan. I took out slots for three devices in the front of the case and rigged the fan there. From there, it blows right over the memory and CPU area. I turn up the speed when I'm running FSX, though that doesn't make that much difference. I think it works because the 120mm size blows out the heat pockets. The CPU now runs 10-15 degrees C. cooler when I'm running FSX. I'm running a high end AMD with the stock fan. It seems to be very good.

CPU Fans and heatsinks
I have been considering the Q6600/Q6700 CPUs to replace my P4. I have a
min-tower with a micro ATX board. The power supply mounts (hangs) right in front of the CPU so I'm concerned about space. Are the stock heat sinks and fans for the quad processors "taller" than the stock ones for the P4 processors? Thanks in advance, Howard ================================ "Red Dog" wrote in message ...
