Guys i want to buy a good quality HSF unit for my P4 3 gig N/w as the current stock unit simply aint good enough…pls suggest me some good brands which are available in Bombay/pune and do better than the hsf unit tht comes from intel…my budget is around 4-5k…
Ohh..i wud be very happy if i can get anything for less than 4k as well…so along wid the good ones pls suggest any entry level hsf unit tht u kno of…
less than 4K…
get mask’s Tower112, the best u’ll get 
PM him…
I would recomend a XP 120.
IS your a Prescott? If its a northwood then a Prescott heatsink will work very well. 
but original preschottt HSF r difficult to find 
If i’m not mistaken none of the Thermalrights are available around India as yet
A prescott HSF is a good suggestion though, those are pretty well designed for a stock HSF. Guess perhaps if you’re a good buddy with a dealer, he should be able to get you one?
Yup I could not find thermalrights in India. Funky said that he knows of someone who imports thermalrights but i’m not sure. Luckily for me I snagged an XP-90 from bottle :). Its working wonderfully well. My earlier temps(on an A64 3000+ @2.4GHz) used to be 42-43 idle/53-54 load. They’ve reduced to 35-36 idle and 43-44 load. Thats just simply amazing. If you can get a thermalright, don’t even think of anything else. Otherwise get the tower 112 as sunny suggested.
Guys,i’ll think of a s/hand unit if i dont get a good new hsf unit… so does any1 kno how much can i get the thermaltake tower112 for, here in india..i think thermaltake aint tht difficult to find here,rit? Also are any of the Zalman units gud enough,something tht falls in my budget…?
Noah…they r really hard to find..atleast here in pune.. 
Hey sunny…any idea how much did he buy it for?U kno him personally so hav u seen its performance…wot r his current temps?I may seriously consider this offer if i dont get hold of a new unit…
Ps: Also my P4 is northwood…so wil the tower 112 work fine on it?
Tower112 is available with PrimeABGB. The last time i checked it was Rs.3800/- plus shipping. Its a nice heatsink and a heavy one too. It has support for socket A - AXP/socket 754/939 - A64/socket 478 - P4/ LGA775.
Its a good performer IMO. U can mount 2 fans on it. Been using it for a couple of months now. The Full load temp on my OCed barton never exceeds 15C over the room temperature. I am not giving u the exact figures b’coz its hotter here these days and the Full Load hits 50C sometimes with the room temp at 35C (idle temp - 44C).. Earlier, when the room temp was around 28-29, Full load wud never cross 45C. With the stock heatsink, under similar conditions, the full load temp wud easily hit 70C!
Having said that, a XP120 is still a better option, provided u can source one from somewhere.. I was thinking of selling mine as i dont OC that much these days.. nothing that the stock HSF cant handle.. PM me if u r interested
u can pick up a prescott hsf @ sujata for 1.2k approx
