Try it. If your temps are too high with the Prescott core, then get a better 
cooler. You aren't going to damage the chip by making it run a little hot 
for a few weeks.

Subject: [H] Thermal Resistance ??


I want to get  a P4 3.4 Prescott that specs out at
Thermal Spec 73.2C
Thermal Guideline 103W
I currently have a P4 3.0 800FSB 512 that specs out at
Thermal Spec 70C
Thermal Guideline 81.9W
It is using a very nice, and very quiet
a P4 Spire cooler specs
Thermal Resistance = .33 C/W
The case is a large extended case with very good cooling.
the Spire is rated up to 3.4 but not particularly for the Prescott... for 
earlier P4s like my model which were a little cooler models.

I don't understand how the Thermal Resistance spec works. Will I be able 
to use a 3.4 Prescott with my Spire cooler?
thanks
