Solve : Better cooling?

Answer»

Hi,

I am using Pentium D 925 3.0 GHZ.

I have overclocked it to 3850 MHZ, but now ( with stock cooling ) the temperatures raise up rapidly.

My current fan is Cooler Master (no model name)

I`d like to purchase this cooler : http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Coolers/detail_reviews.aspx?ID=en-us0000053

Is it better then the current ?

Thank you in advance.Cooler Master makes a variety of HSFs.

We can't answer without a model number (or at least a picture).

...then again, you did say "stock cooling..."

In any case, TRY this bad boy out:

Will the cooler that I have chosen do the trick ?Why are you OC'ing that CPU ? ?
It doesn't handle it very well to begin with ...Quote from: imperator on December 09, 2009, 01:04:43 PM

AT 3.0Ghz, that CPU's Thermal Design Power is 95 Watts
Doesn't seem to be a good choice for overclocking.

The fan you have chosen won't do it.
Maybe this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118003

OK...whatever...

No.

Not even close.Quote from: imperator on December 09, 2009, 02:12:24 PM

Ahhh

Doesn't this simply inspire confidence?OK,

I think the fans suggested by you won`t fit in my rig.

I am using Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 an I think the Zalmar fan is too big.

I know my CPU is not the best overcloker, as well as my motherboard.Nope. It's not too big for the motherboard. You just have to install it correctly.

It may or may not be too big for your computer case, though...You should give up on OC'ing that chip...save your bread...and do a new build eventually.
You and your PC will both be happier...OK....Thank`s for the help....
