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. |

Re: 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" <RedDog@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:55145BCA-8E82-4430-9E8E-3161E5A3706F@microsoft.com... >I have heard that the stock fan and heatsink that come with Intel cpu's is > not a very good setup.

Re: 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 dharper@vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Red Dog" <RedDog@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:55145BCA-8E82-4430-9E8E-3161E5A3706F@microsoft.com... >I have heard that the stock fan and heatsink that come with Intel cpu's is > not a very good setup.

Re: 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?
