For the past 6 years my Intel Pentium 4 (550) HT 3.4 GHz (Prescott) CPU Cooler was working fine, for the past couple of months the fan speed is not able to cross 2000 RPM while previously it use to idle at 3500 RPM and go as much as 4100 RPM at high loads.
Now the CPU core goes at 78 degree when idle and does a thermal shutdown. Tried 3 OEM coolers + Thermal Pastes and all of them are not able to cool the CPU. But all these fans are limited to max of 2000 RPM.
Currently I am searching for a CPU cooler for my prescott processor and need suggestions.
Budget limit is 2000 rupees and can be flexible by around 500 to 1000 rupees.
PS: Since this is a prescott series processor it needs higher cooling than other processors. Also the normal idle temperature of this processor is 55 to 60 degrees and high load temperature is nearly 70 degrees.
Please suggest a CPU cooler.
