@topgear : will CM D15-9HDSL-0L-GP be good enough for my intel p4 511 processor coz my processor has a power rating of 84w whereas c2d processors have a power rating of 65w only. moreover pentium 4 is not listed in the compatibility specs of the cooler on the theitdepot website....confused
@ arc84 - your cpu is based on LGA775 Socket so the cooler will fit and work without any hitch.
as for for TDP - yes DP15 is rated only for 65W cpus not 84W - but there is no other cheap cpu cooler is available at that price point ..
If you can get a CM Hyper TX3 around 1.3K it will be the best bet for you - it would be a great buy for you as it will come handy even in the future - it supports following cpu sockets
Socket LGA775/1156,
AMD Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM3

@ asigh: the motherboard is intel 915gav
@topgear: yeah CM Hyper TX3 is a good buy but i dont want to spend that much for a cooler right now, moreover i wont be upgrading before the second quarter of next year. will DP15 be able to keep my core temperature within 80-85 degrees on full load? if yes, i will go for it.
A friend said that he purchased the push pin once from a shop in chandni mkt, will go there on the 6th with one of the pins from my cooler as a reference.
In the meanwhile, my cpu is in the horizontal position with the core at around 68degrees without load and 85degrees on full load.

How could it be so low. And now I cannot even tell which CPU. ARC, update your signature. Groan.

Asigh,
68C is low ? I think 955BE spec is also in the 60-70 range. AMD doesnt publish TjMax for its CPUs. Any idea what is the max temp for 955BE before it starts throttling.

@asigh : signature updated. well, its a 5yr old comp. wat else can one expect
When my proccy was at 105 degrees, i checked its stats with cpuz v1.54 n the core was operating at 1.8GHz instead of the usual 2.8
BTW the core goes upto 77 degrees on full load with the cabinet in the horizontal position n it still works at 2.8GHz
So, its confirmed that intels throttle after 100C. Well, at least P4 does

There is no timax temp published for p4 511 and the temp monitoring apps monitor only it's tcase temp - there is only cpu tcase temp for such procs and p4 511's maximum tcase temp is 67.7C just like a e6300 has max tcase ( also known as Thermal Specification ) temp of 74.1C
but it's tjmax may be higher that's why the cpu throttles around 100c.
I don't think it would be safe to operate the cpu beyond it's tcase temp so get a tx3 asap.
Thermal Specification: The thermal specification shown is the maximum case temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) value for that processor. It is measured at the geometric center on the topside of the processor integrated heat spreader.

went to chandani yesterday n got the push pins really cheap @25 per piece.
The only problem with them was that the latch on the white part of the clip couldnt hold on the black part in the locking position n as a result it popped out again. Took me 15 mins but in the end was able to lock them in position.
Processor is idling at 63-65C n around 75-77C on full load in the vertical position. Its OK for me coz i dont want to spend any money on it right now. Will try to buy a tx3 in a couple of months.

Asigh,
I ran a benchmark test using AMD Overdrive. The PC was running stable at 54degrees C at 100% load on 4 cores. Room temperature was 34degrees C. I ran the test for 11minutes.
So 62-65 as the Tj MAx is OK right, assuming all other external factors are fine.
One more question, arc has been mentioning in his posts about the CPU position being horizantal and vertical. How does this impact the temps ?

@pulsar_swift : as asigh mentioned the position of the cpu does not matter. its only coz of the fact that two of my stock cooler push pins were broken n its was nt able to cool the cpu in the normal position that i had to put it in the horizontal position so that the cooler sits right on the cpu without the push pins n at least prevent my proccy from melting
