After receiving conflicting information. I decided to play it safe, so I bite the bullet and proceeded to pick up this bad boy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106061
from new egg. Of course I got myself some artic 5 thermal paste too.
The baby came in today. Got it installed with no troubles, double checked to make sure it was properly secured to the CPU.
*drum rolls*
The CPU idle went down from idle 50C to 47C. =/ not as cool as I was hoping it to be. Under extreme gaming, the temperature jumped to about 60C compared to 70C before the Big Typhoon.
Conclusion:
My CPU is still running alot higher then most computer, and ill guess I have to accept it =(. I did pretty much everything I can do to cool this machine down.
It has 120MM and 80MM fan in the back, 80M fan on the side, another 120MM fan on the front, and a freaking 120MM fan for the CPU fan!!! INTEL PRESCOTT CHIPS RUN TO DAMN HOT!!!!
