 |  A good cooler for this chip? I need a heatsink and a fan for this CPU, cause I was told it runs hot, but I don't feel certain that I will get the right one. Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz/Socket 478/ 1MB-L2 Cache/ 800 FSB Any suggestions and/or pointers? Thanks... |

| Why not?? Don't buy an oem version if your going to spend even more money on an aftermarket hs/f. If you've already bought it then this should do you fine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118112

That's only for socket 775,Too bad it didn't fit 478 cause it's a really good heatsink.

| how about telling us the temps of the processor at idle and under load and we'll suggest whether or not it is overheating. a second opinion could save you money :/. i would say grab a lower end HSF from a manufacturer like ThermalTake or Zalman, perhaps the zalman 7700 alcu

Not really a good heatsink,I had the Spark7+ which is pretty much the same exact and it didn't do much better than stock,You had to have the fan maxxed out to see a little difference and it's freaking LOUD!!! at that speed (43dba  )
