2.8ghz 520J cpu heat

[ElectroBlaster]

Anyone know the heat output from one of these things? If I had this in an antec nsk1300 with a stock intel cooler would it be ok?

The chip is a 2.8ghz 520J presscott, skt775

Massive heat. Just massive. I seriously doubt the NSK1300 will be able to do it justice unfortunately. I'd sell the P4 and get an Athlon 64 instead. Faster, and much cooler.

if your not overclocking it it will run fine, i had 2 of these not too long ago, i did have one overclocked and it did 4GHz on air with an arctic 775, load was in the 60s, was used in a spacious thermaltake case though, i didnt run it at stock so cant comment on that, but im confident you'll be fine in that case, probably loading into the low 50's with the stock cooler in that case.

..but wheres the fun runnign it at stock?

I had a E2160 with stock cooler and a Gigabyte G965 motherboard in my Antec Aria (same case as yours) and it worked without crashing etc but the PSU fan was working overtime and became very noisy. When I opened the case everything was very warm so I put the old single core athlon 64 setup back in it. I don't think it was so much the CPU generating a lot of heat more it was the motherboard's passively cooled northbridge!

Ok guys im not a happy bunny,
This dam antec case has really pee'd me off and because its our htpc.sky/freeview recorder I have to get it sorted.

Here's the original specs up until last night:

P4 D820 2.8ghz dual-core
Stock intel fan (push pin type)
Ati 9600 All in wonder
Audigy 1
2 x 512m ocz premium pc3200
Pci slot blower fan (rubbish thing from antec that burnt out too quick)
Asrock 775i65G matx motherboard
Seagate 160gb sata

Putting a dual-core cpu into such a small case was asking for trouble. The system has slowly started to mess up whilst recording video and needs resetting a few times from coldboot or the ati card wont start correctly. The cpu temps were hitting 80c and above with the cooler fan going into overdrive. When I first built this thing the temps never rose above 55c and the fan noise was at acceptable levels.

So last night I decided to tear this pc apart and fit a new cooler and a second hand 520J sourced off the mm. Sods law said the cooler wouldnt fit with the fan clipped on, even tho I double checked all the dam measurements beforehand So I had to resort to messing around with that antec fan bracket thing which attaches to the psu. The fan is now hanging above the heatsink, the northbridge chip and the ram sockets. Imho this isnt ideal but it seems to blow air nicely around everything so im hoping it will work out.

The temps are now hovering around 55 to 68c underload, the noise isnt like it was thank god (imagine of a hoover on 24/7 and you will get the idea)
I long for silent pc lol.

Do these athlon 64's produce less heat then? because if thats correct im swapping it all out and selling the antec so I can fund a better case.

Depends which A64 you shoot for: an Athlon X2 6000 will probably put out only slightly less heat (TDP of 130w), to be honest, so it's not worth going for one of those.

However, the X2 5200/4800/4400/4200/3800 all come in Energy Efficient costumes with TDPs of 65w. There are special versions of the 3800 out (amusingly enough, they have an SFF suffix) that are 35-45w TDP (can't remember which).and currently have the lowest power requirements of any current mainstream processor.
