It is Prescott and it runs very very HOT. Much safer / easier would be INTEL P4 FSB800 2.8G BOX S478 NORTHWOOD.

Prescott works ok but so far I would take northwood.

I didn't catch that go with Northwood. Are you asking fi you current fan in your pc will work? Or if the one you was going to buy for the prescotte cpu?

It has thermal paste that comes with the fan. What happens if i did not use the paste???

Jayclark · « **Reply #11 on:** June 18, 2004, 02:15:04 AM »

If you don't use the paste you cpu will overheat.
