Intoxicator

This is why i sent you the like to the aero 4, not the aero 4 lite, the true aero 4 has a pure copper heatsink and that makes all the difference. i run a 3.0 p4, and my aero 4 works like a dream, right now my cpu is at 33c/91f thats about 10 degrees F higher then room temp. also in a previous post you said you found a cool LIKE the aero 4. if this is the case you should have gotten the real thing

well again i will have to put in my 2 cents worth, yes keeping the fan clean, and using a good quality thermal grease helps hell i use artic silver, but from everything i have read using a blower style fan is the best way to keep a cpu cool besides from water cooling. standard blade fans create a dead zone in the middle of the air flow, which is where cooling is needed the most.

also if you want serious cooling options try www.xoxide.com they have more advanced cpu coolers then anywhere i have seen, thats where i got my cooler, but the last time i checked they dont offer the aero 4 anymore but they have alot of others that should work just as well

Well if you want a great cooler for a 478 p4 check this one out http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT...SB-V73+Aero%204 I have had mine for about a year and it has been great, I have a 3.0 p4 ht and at idle i run 33-35c and under load about 45-50c its a pure copper heatsink and a really cool blower fan with a dial you put on the front of the pc to control the speed. not to mention i got mine for 28 bucks, but my temps are helped by the fact i have 5 case fans
