What's the P4 1.6A temperature and the boxed fan RPM?

[xpeter]

I want to buy me the P4 1.6A and I would like to have a quite
PC because I hate the fans noise. What's the normal temperature
of the P4 1.6A since it has the 0.13 micron core? And what's the
RPM of the fan that is bundled with the cpu?

Is the P4 fan smaller/larger than the on of Celeron and has it more or
less RPM?

Your concerned with quietness and don't like fan noise, so I'll give you this comparison....

Right now with my 1.6A @ 2.5Ghz 1.6V :

With only one 80MM case fan.... (and PSU fans of course) Idle 32C, load 48C (running prime95 torture test)

With 4 80MM case fans.... Idle 28C, load 44C

I never ran it at stock speed, so I don't know what the temps would be like at 1.6Ghz. The stock Intel HSF for the P4 1.6A has a 2700rpm (60mm i think) fan, it's pretty silent. I have no idea about the celery HSF.

Nate--
Did you use AS3, the stock thermal pad, or something else?

Thanks for valuable infos,

I am running my Celeron 800 MHz now between the range of 30-40 degrees of Celsius but with
reduced RPM of the fan to 60% that means 2850 RPM using the SpeedFan utility. I noticed that
everything below this speed of the fan is no more noticable as a noise but everything above
it can I hear. The full speed of the Celeron fan is about 4300 RPM so the P4 1.6A should be
noticable quiter. I don't know the size of the fan but it is definitely smaller than that one of the
P4.

never use thermal pad for cpu. ALways use heatsink paste. Articsilver stuffs are good.

The fan runs aout 2600-2700rpm. Not loud at all.

and what about the old Willamete core? what type of hf is bundled
with the old P4 1.6GHz? And what's the RPM?

 

[nnnyyy]

my 1.6@2.1 1.5v is about 28C idle and 46C under load. This is with no case fans, stock heatsink with thermal pad. And its quieter than the enermax power supply. I love the silence.

Forgot to mention....Stock HSF with AS3.

According to MBM5, the RPM of my 1.6A varies. It will go from ~ 2400 RPM - 3200 RPM depending on load/temp. Anyone else notice this?

 

[xpeter]

2400 or 3000 rpm on such big heatsink doesn't matter, it is silent enough ;-)
But how about the original P4 0.18micron Willamette core? What's the
heatsink fan RPM that's bundled with the older versions?

My 1.6a heatsink/fan runs at about 2400rpm and idles at about 25-27c. My mobo is a intel 845bg.

It's quiet, very quiet, specially if you have an Athlon CPU before, compare it as a stock fan and
at Athlon you have to spend a lot more if you want to OC and have a quiet system at the same time.
I think it's comparable w/ celeron stock fan. or little bit louder than socket 7 hsf. And btw/ it's a 70mm fan.

the celeron fan is much louder, at a default speed it's running at 4300 RPM.

I'll be the first to say the P4 fan is not *all* that quiet. It is a temp sensing, variable speed fan. At 2400 RPM, it's pretty decent. I'm running a Prime95 test on my 1.6A @ 2.4 GHz, 1.675 Vcore right now. Temp is ~ 55C. The fan is running ~ 3300 RPM and in my book is very far from quiet. I guess if you came from the AMD side, you might think so, but I dont. My last system was a PIII-S Tualatin @ 1.5 GHz with a Panaflow L1A 80mm fan. That was quiet. This is isn't.

but we weren't talking about overclocked P4 but running at it's given speed. and since the original HF is
temperature depending that's also good because it can automatically control the airflow and thus make
the system quite in common office apps. As I wrote before my Celeron is ~ 4300 RPM @ 30-44C. And
Celeron's definitely has a much smaller HF than the P4.
