How powerful is the Intel stock cooler?

Hey all.

Friend of mine has a computer with a 2.8GHz Celeron in it, cooled by an Intel stock cooler.

He's in the process of buying new parts, however we were wondering if the cooler would be good enough to cool a Core 2 Duo E6600 if we just moved it over (replacing thermal paste ofc).

Ta.

He would probably get a new cooler with the new cpu, which is what I would use if I used a stock cooler.

Yeah we plan to, but we wanted to know if it would do the job in the meantime - he really needs to get the PC working.

I gots a stock Intel Heatsink on my G/F's PC which is a E6600 & it's @ 2.8ghz with ~65C load temps. Normally lower though

It should be fine but just don't expect it to clock great.

very very.......average - it should take you to 3ghz with good airflow.

Remember guys, the cpu cooler for a celeron may not be as efficient as the one we get with the new duo's or quads, so it might not actually be up to scratch.

exactly what i was about to say. i don't actually know but i think it's a fair assumption to make......
