Intel P4 Socket 775 Heatsink Roundup @ Madshrimps

“Looking to cool that small nuclear reactor Intel has sold you in the Prescott P4. Well we have for you today 6 samples of aftermarket LGA775 coolers that might just let you squeak a little more MHz out of your CPU, or at the very least allow the CPU to run just a bit cooler.”

“Thermaltake is kind of an odd bird in the computer industry. On one hand they made the Xaser line of cases which may look strange to some, but have great features and are easy to work with. Then they make things like their Xray 5.25” drive bay kit with cigarette lighter and a cup holder that make you scratch your head and wonder why? Well, now I have the Thermaltake HT103 fanless CPU heatsink that I am hoping will not be another head-scratcher.

With no dedicated fan to provide consistent and strong airflow, I fear for the life of my CPU. Is my fear justified? Will my CPU burn up in flames? Or will this heatsink prove itself a worthy, and dead silent, contender for your CPU cooling dollars? There is only one way to find out…“
