On stock I ran a e6750 at 38C idle, 47C max load. I that Zalman on it and I don't break 40C.kylef wrote:
Using 10% CPU power (E6400) I am currently at around 31-32C, jumping to about 38-40 on full load - stock Intel. Not much of a difference, eh? ...Computer_Guy wrote:
ZAlman CNPS 9500. keeps my E6600 at 35 degrees celcius or lower constanly on load or not.

Honestly you dont really need giant coolers to run your CPU at 20c on full load. As long as its under 70c at a full load nothing bad will come of it. Shit, my P4 CPU has been running at 80c on medium load for years, and nothing has died. The Freezer7Pro can cool very well and it is very cheap, you dont need to spend another $40 on something that will keep the CPU below zero unless it makes you feel better. Thermalright Ultra120 is major overkill IMO.
You may not be aware, but higher temps=more stress on a component, thus meaning it won't last as long. P4's are born to run hot, it's just part of life.
Thats true, but running at 30c on load isnt making a huge difference. Anything over 70c on load is likely damaging over a long period of time to a C2D or C2Q, but under that is not going to kill it sooner. The Freezer7Pro is good at running the CPU cool enough to not damage it over time, but it wont get you temps like 30c on full load.CrazeD wrote:
