Intel Pentium 4 Socket478 Processor Thermal Solutions

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper
thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection
of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those
heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition,
this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support Intel
processors.
