They are just shrouds that they sell on eBay for like $5.00 in the UV reactive variety.
You might have to scan under PC Fans at eBay.
You screw in the shroud like the 80mm you had and mount the 120mm on the shroud. No big.

External is the way to go. Less junk in the PC. If you lug it to LAN parties forget it though.
You can build you own. I built one in a box and one in a piece of furniture. I flip the pump on with a Critcool Poweplant II and use 120v pump and fans. Even little 12v water...

How do you cool all that computing power? I thought I would build something like that but use the nVidia 7000 once they are matured on t he market. If that is all air cooled it has to have an awsome turbine hum to suck all the heat out of the case. I am serious and...

'going to oc'
consider watercooling as that CPU has a lot of transistors and flipping them off and on faster will make some heat........better find some benchmarks before you use a stock cooler or othr than the best air cooling that others did.....then wonder if your room is...

I did not like that and went watercooling. You have to run bolts through the motherboard to mount them....they even tell you that. Motherboards bend and that it you try applying some muscle so figure if you do not use through bolts that weight would pull like wild on the plastic...

My BIOS allows .1v increases, so I figure that I want the same as stock voltage like if OCing would cause a decrease. So I figure just make it so it is like stock voltage. Probably does not matter all that much,

I saw this note they ran the Intel with out the CPU fan for some time right off the bat. Would that wreck a CPU? I can not see that as the thing should not boot without the fan on the fan jumper. That is a weird note on the temperature chart for the Intel.

Why do you not take a Prescott 3.0+ and forget OCing. the 775 socket P4s are getting sold cheap as they are in abundance and the 2.4C is out of production, therefore overpriced, and a replacement part.
the 1mb cache is better performing----I had them both

Heat is exciting. I used to run my 3.2E in the upper 60s to 70C Celsius playing new 3D games and it played real well and never shut down. I even bumped up the alarms to 72C and kept on at it without the beeper going off. Someone in the Asian tropics said that Intel is...
Loook....all those games play differently and some can be rigged to favor Intel due to the execution and pipelines and stuff.....now all the games are favoring the AMD design and the 3D Now! set up.
Hell, if you go online with a lousy bandwidth you lose anyway.
that is like a 256mb cache...think about that,,,whereas newer CPUs have 1000mb caches.....the cache being basically the size of the gate the data moves through..that is oversimplified
nothing.....you are flipping a bazillion transistors off and on faster than the CPU was designed for......they say you do not have to worry until 170F, as far as frying it goes....I say turn it up more!!!!
How cool can these things run at this power consumption [wattage]? I mean with a stock air HSF?
I mean where is the analysis on this heat problem in these CPUs?
Where is the real life actual temperatures they run stock and OCed?
I find they must have the same thermal problems as Intel...
i went the whole route from scratch
talk about a learning curve.....i am cooling a Prescott 103W
i start up idle at 35C and level out 39-40C after an hour and hit 49C loaded long period in DV transcoding and in thelow 40s running games
water coling is really the way to go
i got my...
i built my own
i found a used innovatek Rev 3 on eBay for $20...yes people think they are moving up from that to an even cooler water block, I found an Iwaki Model 20Z for $46, and i bought two new radiators for $19.99 each and lotsa tube from McMaster-Carr and made a reservior out of 3" PVC...
i did not like those temperature either, BUT i never had a problem, I just always wondered if it is too hot if Intel says the max in 73C, i thought like well, that is mighty close....
I went to water and built one external to the PC and run a tube to it and a tube back to the radiators.
you...
my Prescott ran up in the sixties...i made a cooler box with a Rev, 3 innovatek waterblock I got used for like $20.......now I run at 49C running heavy DV processing hour after hour...i made it myself out of parts on the net with a healthy pump and set the box under the PC on a typing...
my water cooling rig is two days old....I dropped 20C with a 103w Prescott....I ran it for hours doing DV programs that run 75% to 90% on one hyperthread on and off....i say the average temperature is 49C under load.....start up day two was 35C.....hour after hour
after a few hours I found...
i turned my 478 Prescotts up 5%.....not much heat change at all
one is 3.33 or so and one 3.57
here is a load of stuff including screen shots....i too used a Gigabyte heat pipe cooler---fit right in---turn it up and down when DV editing (100% proc use) and the higher speed knocks off 5C...
