Intel cooler on AMD processor lowered temps !!

[jordan172005]

I used to have a Thermaltake Volcano 6cu HSF on my Athlon XP 2200+ and the temps were ~ 34-35c the other day I took the HSF from my 1ghz P3 and put it on this processor to see what a difference it would make and to my suprise the temps dropped to 29c on idle and doesn't exceed 35c under load. Also the pent 3 HSF is quieter.

This is the new fan I installed. It looks almost exactly like this except mine has a shinny intel sticker on it.

Here is the Thermaltake Volcano 6cu HSF that was on it.

Just thought I'd let anyone who is still using socket 462 like I am that if you are having problems with temp or just want a cooler running and quieter system that you may want to give this a try.

I bet if you used a heatsink from a P4 Prescott it would have made your AMD even cooler under load.

You know them prescotts... like trying to cool lava with spit.

cool lava with spit heh I like that. I don't have any prescott HSF because this AMD is my newest system but I like these temps and may try my hand at Ocing this thing. I had a sempron64 2800+ stock 1.6ghz at 2.76ghz stable but anything after that would not boot windows How far you think this 2200+ will be able to go?
