• New heatsink/fan or just new thermal compound?
    2 replies, posted
I'm helping my friend with his hot running P4 Prescott 775 socket cpu. He currently has his cpu with OEM heatsink/fan, installed over 5 years ago. I'm sure at least part of the reason temps are climbing is due to poor thermal contact after all these years. However, he's willing to spring for [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200034]this Rosewill[/url]. Or he'll just buy some Artic Silver and have me reinstall his original heatsink/fan again. Since I've never used Artic Silver w/OEM, I'm not sure if there would be a better result than just buying the new cooling solution and using the pre applied thermal compound. He won't buy the AS and new heatsink/fan. Any thoughts or experiences in this?
just get a freezer 7 pro V2
There is absolutely no point in spending $15 on a heatsink. Either get a Xigmatek S1283 or Tuniq TX-4.
