It is the ThermalTake Sonic Tower. I works wonderfully.
Idle - 44 C
Load - 56 C
The key is the realitive position of the heatsink to the rear case exhaust fan. The fan is pulling the air through the fins of the heatsink.

I've got the TT Tower 112 which is suppose to be fanless. I can run my Prescott processor without a fan but when I put a load on it, it begins to get kind of hot. But that might be because everything is so cramp in my case that there is no air flow. I'll see if I can run with know fan after I get my new case.

**forcifer** · 12-14-2005, 12:18 PM

ne1 else? also, if u hav a digital camera u can upload it. crap, the only good pic of my rig i got is a REALLY blurry 1. sry, but i gotta wait till fri or mon wen i hav my mobo.

What type of thermal compound are you using? I know it can make a big difference in heat transfer. I personally like the Arctic Silver Ceramique... Ive got a p4 3.2 with the stock heatsink and it idles around 22 C and at load it doesn't go much over 37 C.

**Fox** · 01-03-2006, 08:38 PM

My computer is a piece of crap- it doesn't even have side covers. I'm not even going to bother posting it.

Call me old fashion but I just use the plain white stuff. I really have never had any problems with cooling. I have used stock Intel HS/Fans without any problems and I think they work fine. Most of the problems I see are with poor case cooling. It's hard to cool a CPU with hot air.

cainmosozihcs · 01-05-2006, 04:17 PM

Yeah you are right that most overheating is do to bad case cooling. But for that extra boost of cooling getting good thermal compound is a good idea.

Metz · 01-06-2006, 06:52 PM
