Heatsinks for new motherboard - need advice
Heatsinks for new motherboard - need advice
I've bought a new motherboard for my PC so I can upgrade it to PCI express and get a new video card. The board I have bought is an ASRock P4Dual-915GL, which has a Socket 478 for Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processor slot. The heatsink and fan on my current motherboard does not seem to fit this board and I was wondering if I have to get a heatsink specifically made for an ASRock board, which heatsinks and fans are best, and places where I could possibly get them as I'm a bit unsure as to what heatsink to buy when I look around online.
Any assistance or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

This is the first time I ever come across this problem before. I did a search at a local hardware portal and I found a COOLER MASTER Hyper48 KHC-L91-U1 Copper (LGA775, P4 & K8) HSF. I'm not sure if it will fit into your motherboard but that is the closest match that I can find for the Socket-478 type processors.
Sorry that I can't be of much help here as I'm not very familiar with heatsinks and fans from other brands aside from Intel. The current heatsink and fan on my computer is the Intel type provided together with my processor.

The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
