    Does anyone have an recemends on cooling this processer.
    Its not so bad when nothing heavy is loading, it runs at about 45 degree's but then gets up to 55+ degrees when any high processes are running (ie a game) and when that happend the internal fan boosts from 2500rpms to about 4100 rpms and its gets very noisy and is powerful enough to shake the desk its on.

    Anyone have any sugestions on this or is that normal for a p4 3ghz processer?

    The xp-120 is overkill unless you plan on doing some major overclocking and it's not compatable with a lot of mobos.

    The zalman is quiet and will suit it perfectly if your not overclocking although it's quite decent for that too.

    Your temps are fine if it's a prescott. They are safe up to 70c but you should keep them under 60c for everyday use.
