Socket 478 cooler help
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but if it's not, maybe
you can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to replace the cooler on my old Medion P4 2.53ghz system with a quieter one. It's a socket 478 system - the socket itself says mPGA478b. It has the black cradle type mounting with two metal lever arms (as opposed to clips) Here's a picture of it - http://www.4shared.com/file/55905677...9a/socket.html So, I bought an 'Asaka AK-675' from Maplin, but it wont fit the socket mounting. The heatsink is a little too short and a little too wide. So, can anyone give me any advice or point me to a nice quiet heatsink that will fit but is not mega expensive. I was thinking about a passive one, but the only other fan in the case is the PSU one, so maybe there's not enough throughput. I'm hoping make this nice and quiet as it's used in my front room to play BBc iPlayer videos and such and at the moment, the sound of the CPU fan is very offputting! cheers Steve |

It's also quiet, and does a pretty good job. You don't hear it at all really. The psu fan(s) make more noise. You can even overclock pretty far with the stock cooler. Mine went about 500MHz over. Only difference is I had the Pentium 4c Your total speed to me suggests a Pentium 4b @ 533MHz FSB... I hope this helps.. Fievel. |

Actually, the PSU fan on my Medion is nice and quiet, it's the cpu fan which is horrible and noisy! Steve |

Actually, the PSU fan on my Medion is nice and quiet, it's the cpu fan which is horrible and noisy! Steve You can replace the retention bracket on the motherboard, with a standard one. For example, the Abit store sells one (bottom item). I wish the picture on the site was clearer - it looks like the retention bracket is secured with nylon push-pins, rather than the screws depicted in your picture. You may be able to reuse the screws and part of the structure on your existing installation. http://www.uabit.com/WebStore/index....68fq7qprg6 77 The next issue, is clearance from the CPU socket to the power supply. For example, Zalman shows how much clearance is needed, when using their CNPS7700 round heatsink (about 1 inch from retention bracket to power supply casing). Depending on how large a heatsink is, in the X-Y plane, will determine whether there is sufficient clearance to the power supply. Their CNPS7000 is a bit smaller, and less clearance is needed for that one. http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cool...MBlist_eng.htm http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cool..._list_eng.html This example is 6" tall, but the X-Y dimensions are not that big. The heatsink uses four hooks, so needs the standard S478 retention bracket with the four "eyes" on it, to hook to. Some cases are not wide enough, or a side duct has to be removed, to make room for it. Otherwise, the performance of this heatsink should be pretty good, as the fin spacing is wide enough for low velocity cooling. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185038 http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/cp...scnj1100p.html You can have a look in the Newegg S478 collection, and see other examples. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc... chInDesc=478 But I wouldn't spend the money on the new heatsink, until you have a standard retention bracket in place. http://www.arcticcooling.com/i/socket478.gif Some heatsinks may come with hardware to replace the standard retention bracket, in which case you are spared having to find the retention bracket. But for any of the heatsinks that rely on the structure in the four corners, then you'll need to make sure whatever retention bracket you use, can do the job. Paul |

I'm trying to replace the cooler on my old Medion P4 2.53ghz system with a quieter one. For the record, I've never seen or heard of this brand.

It has the black cradle type mounting with two metal lever arms (as opposed to clips) Here's a picture of it - http://www.4shared.com/file/55905677...9a/socket.html This appears to be a mount used on 1U serverboards. They take coolers that look like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106097 as far as I can tell. Server coolers tend to be noisy since nobody cares about noise in a server room.

I was thinking about a passive one, but the only other fan in the case is the PSU one, so maybe there's not enough throughput. You may want to look into changing the mount, if you can. Then you would have a wider variety of coolers to work with. I'm hoping make this nice and quiet as it's used in my front room to play BBc iPlayer videos and such and at the moment, the sound of the CPU fan is very offputting! The rule of thumb is the bigger the fan, the slower it turns to put out enough air to cool the cpu. So you want to put on the biggest one that will fit your motherboard and case. Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835200029 Rosewill RCX-Z200 92mm Ball CPU Cooler if you can find a mount to go with it would be prefered. Then put a fan controller on it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811992003 and adjust the fan speed to where the noise is acceptable while still adequately cooling your cpu. cheers Steve Bill |

That thing almost looks like my xeon mount. I'm unable to get rid of those heat sinks and fan though, I'm still using them. btw. I like them coolers someone listed, but it's probably not enough for this dual xeon. Fievel. ;-) :-) |
