Retail Intel HSF question, need help pretty quickly...

[Megatomic]

Hey everyone, I am running dual PIII 667eb chips with the retail Intel HSFs that came with them. I don't have a model number or anything but the fans are Nidec made. My question is this: will those HSFs for the 667s be sufficient for 800eb chips also? I am getting two bare chips and these HSFs are the only socket 370 units I have. Just in case you need to know, I don't plan to overclock the chips at all so they'll be at stock speed and voltages.

Also, the motherboard is installed in an Antec SX830 case with one intake and one exhaust fan so it's nice and cool in there.

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, since your not overclocking those fans will be fine...

I agree. Actually the stock Intel HS aren't really too bad at all. You might do some lapping on them, just to flatten them out a little. But even if you don't they should be fine. Make sure and use some good compound.

Thanks guys. And I always use ASII when I install a HSF. I feel better now.
