Best HSF for S478 P4 3.4 Prescott

Jocky · 8 Mar 2006 at 20:01

I'm building a 2nd system for the kids with an Abit AI7 and a 3.4E Prescott.

I've not got a heatsink as I used to run the 3.4E watercooled at 4.1Ghz no problem. What is the best air cooler I can get?

Cheers

Thermalright XP120 or the newer SI 120 Has better mobo compatability I believe.
Both excellent heatsinks.
Have 3.2 prescott @ 3.8 & 3.0 prescott @ 3.7 folding 24/7 on these heatsinks.

Neither of these Heatsinks are officially supported on the ABit AI7, however if your prepared to wiggle and bend it can be done.

If you can get a second hand SP-94 that works great!

Thanks for the replies

Whats your thoughts on the Vapochill micro range. I can't decide between them and and the thermalright SI 120 :eek:

Most people seem to be raving on about the Sythe Ninja, which fits 478, 754, 939 & 940.
Most reviews rate it better than the XP120

Third one down

Arctic Cooling Freezer 4 does 90% of what the others do for a fraction of the cost.

Zalman 9500 is amazing for both temps + noise. Will be virtually silent on low RPM.
