-----Original Message----- As a builder of Intel based computers for resale I have some additional useful information.
On Intel Pentium 4 processors with speeds of 3GHz and above and especially with L2 Cache sizes larger than 512, Intel recommends a "Thermally Advantaged Chassis" Google this term and you will see examples. Basically it's a multi-fan case with a side air inlet that has a cone to draw cool outside air directly over the Fan/Heatsink and a rear fan to blow that air out of the case. Cases designed for PCI-X also have a ventilation holes in the PCI-X slot area to cool Video cards specifically. The new P4's with 1MB and 2MB L2 cache really pump out the heat, and yes, without the proper case design, temperature will rise rapidly when running Prime95. I have a 3.2 and it's kinda toasty back there. Dan Moody _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
