817673 2009-10-06 22:24:00 Is the Alpine Pro 7 cooler good enough to run on any of the Core 2 Quads/ Extremes with overclock? secureprivacy (11611)
817674 2009-10-06 22:27:00 How much of an overclock? That's a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. :p It is a very cheap cooler. Here's (www.frostytech.com) a few useful temp comparisons, it looks like it wouldn't be that great if you were doing a decent overclock, but something small it should handle OK.

Best way is to try and find out, fire up prime95 and speedfan and see what the temps are doing.

817676 2009-10-07 00:20:00 i was thinking of using it to overclock my E2140 from 1.6GHz to hopefully 2.8? (never mind...) secureprivacy (11611)

Get an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro. Its the next one up from your alpine, but its much better:)
