Message: Subject: Pentium Duo Chip Cooling By: Austy (IP: 84.12.53.*) Written on: 08-04-2006 12:14 I want to cool the pentium duo chip with a folded fin heatsink and no fan - is this possible and if so what problems will this cause regarding overheating?

A standard passive heatsink (folded fin or not) will not be powerful enough to cool it. Even with elaborate heatpipe-based solutions, passive cooling of dual core P4s is quite a challenge. If it's Core Duo: This CPU has moderate cooling requirements and high maximum temperature. It can be cooled with a good passive heatsink; however, you might have trouble finding large coolers for desktops that are designed for the Core Duo. bye, Tillmann
