OT? - P4 2.8C on P4C800-E dlx - HS/Cooling Options
I plan on replacing the intel heatsink/fan, possibly with the Zalman
CNPS7000A-CU. My goal is Quiet, but better cooling. Good choice? Suggestions? Any issues with installing this HS/Fan on the P4C800? |

... I plan on replacing the intel heatsink/fan, possibly with the Zalman CNPS7000A-CU. My goal is Quiet, but better cooling. Good choice? Suggestions? Any issues with installing this HS/Fan on the P4C800? I Have replaced my stock Intel HS/F from a 2.8C on my P4C800-E Dlx with the Zalman 7000A-Cu and it went wonderfully. The only 'issue' I had was that I did not tighten the Zalman enough because I was being cautious and the PC didn't boot properly, so I slammed those bolts down like the instructions say to do and had no problems. I used Arctic Silver 3 thermal compound. My temperatures went down by over 10 deg C at load and fan speed on max.... In my system the Zalman is inaudible at ANY speed thanks to a few loud HDDs and the air pump that runs my case aquarium. I was even able to replace my northbridge heatsink without removing the Zalman and was able to fit a Thermaltake Crystal Orb with no problems. Another consideration you must take is what kind of case you have... my Lian-Li is a mid-tower case and pretty wide-open. Good luck. It was well worth the purchase here! |
