I just intalled a Prescott 3.0E and it runs hot. I first tried the Intel stock cooler and it would idle at 50C and above, and under load up to almost 70C. I then tried a Thermalright-947U with a 80mm fan at 5000rpm. It still runs in the 60C and above under a load and idle's at around 47C. I also used artic silver 5 paste with the Thermalright heatsink, but it didn't help. I don't want to invest in water cooling at this time. Does anybody have a suggestion on a better heatsink or a better method to get the processor temps down? Would it help if I would make a air duct for the CPU? Any suggestions that don't cost alot of money would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
prescotts will always run *VERY* hot. im not sure exactly what are good temps for a prescott, but i know its higher than prettymuch every other cpu.
 
Prescotts didn't get their PrescHOT nickname for nothing :p

All I can reccomend are more case fans to keep more air moving in from outside the case, either that or a duct.
 
you could try a sp-94 w/92mm tornado

i have that hot ass in my oc rig and i had to get water on it.
 
I have a tower case with 6 fans moving the air in and out of the case, but I still get these high temps on this processor.
 
i wonder why intel calls it the prescott??

it doesn't seem like a person who is a american historian, then again they called it that cause it will MAKE history as being the hottest intel chip to date.

try dual pelts with massive mother sink on it plus 2 vantec tornadoes, 1 mounted to the case going thru a duct which has the 2nd fan on the HS
 
Prescott's up north in Arizona, it's actually pretty cold.

Southern Arizona is hot, I live in Yuma, smack dab in the middle of the desert.
 
yeah i'm running the 2.8E and right now

i have a 45 celcius idle and 55-57 load


cooled by koolance system
