Hi all, I have a pentium 4 CPU 3.06ghz http://www.anycpu.com/projects/diypc/GraniteBay/Processor.htm and was wondering where can I get silent cooling fans for it. How do I know that they are compatible etc.
Just read the link you posted in goes into details. http://www.anycpu.com/projects/diypc/GraniteBay/Processor.htm#CPU Fan Upgradested bean55
According to the link I can get SilenX IXtrema Blue LED 120mm as CPU Fan or Thermaltake Silent Cat 9CM CPU Fan I was going to get the 2nd one because it's only $13. I wanted to know where can I find more compatible fans. What do I look for?
You want to look for fans that can keep your 3.06ghz cooled and that are designed for the type of socket you have.Pentium 4 CPU Multi-Socket Fans Socket A Socket 754 Socket 939 Socket 940 Socket AM2 Socket 370 Socket 478 Socket 775 http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=11&name=Fans-Heatsinks http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=493& bean55
It says I have a LGA 775 Socket. Here's the link http://www.cpushack.net/SocketID.html so i was thinking of this http://www.megaware.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=40616 any suggestions?
It looks tall, Will it clear everything in your case? Here's a flat model http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118030 Don't forget to get the thermal compound http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007 bean55
