prescott and black ice extreme
 

i just bought me a secondhanded black ice extreme to get more room in my case (instead of my heatercore)
but when i now compare those 2 , there is a HUGE difference in cooling area.
i'm doubting it can cool a P4 3.0 @ 3.8 prescott (will put out 150W on load?) and the chipset.
i want relative silence so a high cfm fan is not an option and yet i want max 55° (for stability and the thermal throtteling)

anyone got an idea if this will work?

depends, what are your temps now?

Dunno if this is usefull.

(! For watts, multiply BTU/Hr x 0.2932

If you want to know the heat output of your cpu:

tought 89W at stock speed and volt (1.4V) and 84W for the LGA version (same speed, same volt)

bah, i bought that radiator for nothing then :(
i should think before acting next time...
