I am planning to to build a new pc, i have decided to get a Intel Pentium4 3.2ghz HT LGA 775 with Giga-byte 8I915P Duo Pro, will i have any overheating problem like, computer automatically reboots? :confused:

I am thinking of buying a new car, one like a Mustang GT. Will I have a problem with flat Tires?

you probably will with the stock cooler, and even if it does not it will be very bad for the cpu, as it gets so hot.

Get a zalman 7000, is cheap and easy, and will cool very well, and much quieter than the intel one. will also be better for cpu.

Why...????
Intel stock cooler is designed to do it's job... It may be a little louder then some of the aftermarket heatsinks, but it will cool the CPU just fine as long as he doesn't overclock and raise the voltage....

While I agree that a Zalman 7000 is a good heatsink. The Intel Stock one is just fine.

The CPU stays below 70C when 80C is the limit set by Intel.

very loud, and by just fine, >60degrees c at load?
with the 3.8ghz, they often turn off with the stock cooler.
>60c is shocking.

While >60c may be shocking, it's hardly a reson for the CPU to overheat, and reboot the system or even throttle down. My rig (sig) runs at 62c full load for hours without any problems. At idle it comes down to ~43c. Using the same CPU with stock (all aluminum) heatsiknk, I was still able to OC the PC to 3.2Ghz, but the temps would go up to ~73c. That's with 12cm fan on the top of the case pulling the hot air out and 9cm fan on the side blowing the cold air down on the CPU heatsink. That's when I got the Zalman and unleashed the OC-monster ;) . I'm sure I can shave off a couple degrees if I use Arctic Silver 5 instead of the white paste that came with the Zalman. No biggie though...
But let's get back to delusion's question... NO, the PC will not overheat with your Prescott CPU and stock Intel heatsink. Case ventilation is more of an issue here. As long as you got a good case with good air flow, you'll be fine.

Thank you for your reply, yea i won't over clock and the case that i am getting has plenty of space and i am getting around 4-5 120mm case fans.
 
you may as well overclock with that many case fans. I have 4 120s in my tower, 1 intake, 1 exhaust, one for the Power Supply (also exhausting) and one on the cpu cooler.

Honestly if you dont plan on overclocking 2 120s and the stock intel cooler is more than sufficient.

I have no idea how can you tell the difference between an Intake and Exhaust fan, because they look the same, and when i asked the guy at the computer shop, he say there is no such thing.... :confused:
 
Intake and exhaust fans are the same fan, it just depends on the direction you have it mounted in the case. If it blows in, it's an intake, if it blows out, it's an exhaust fan.
 
oh.. i see, so i have to do is to put the fan to spin anti-clock wise and it would work as an exhaust, and to make it work as intake, get it to spin clock wise am i correct? :rolleyes:
 
not really... you can't change the direction of the fan.

but as a rule of thumb, fans blow in the direction of the lable (does not include heatsink fans). So the one in the front you put the lable to the inside of the tower and the one in the back, put the lable to the outside of the tower.
