| 615855 | 2007-11-28 06:25:00 | Hi, I've decided to try and change the stock cooling fan for my P4 2.4Ghz to something a little quieter (mine's getting a tad noisy - certainly the noisiest in the case - may just be its age showing). What I'm wondering is, will fans/heatsinks for LGA775 cpu's fit my socket 478 CPU/ mobo? I don't really want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on it, and there seems to be a much greater selection for LGA775. | rusty_knifenz (4065) | ||

I've done it once before and it helped heaps, though it did still eventually die... as this useful how-to-do-it (www.dansdata.com) article points out, usually once you start hearing the damage, it'll be on its way out. Worth a try though. |

You appear to say you want to get one fan to cool the CPU and you would like this fan to be more quiet than what is fitted at this time. Amounts on one item. Budget? |

Not sure of model without opening my case and looking but it was a large copper looking thing with 3-4 tubes looping out each side. It just had a slightly different mount adapter included for the other socket set. Got it maybe 18 months ago from PBTech |
