i can confirm that 1156 and 1155 can use the same cooler.

i was worried when i buy my 2400, then later i tried my geminII on it dosen fit, forgeting the fact that it only support 775. Later on after asking around i try my even older 212 plus and it fitted just fine, now the core on idea are around 16c, amazing how cool this proc can be.

Is around 16 - 20c la, it jump around between these number.
ambient temp, not sure, don have themometor around, but maybe cost of is raining all the time, and my room is always on aircon . HSF is Hyper 212 with 2 artic cooling fan from craw hammer.

Intel 2400 3.1 with cooler master 212plus + 2 artic cooling f12 temperature test


Ideal temperature





Highest 21c, lowest 14c

Loading temperature



100% use at 30c

here you go

ideal



Load



seem like your were right to ask me to use cpuid, speedfan show highest 21c at ideal but cpuid show 33c, then load highest at speedfan 30c and 46 at cpuid. dono which one to trust now

Added on January 1, 2011, 3:16 amregret... well, from old first gen phenom to this is allot difference, i photoshop allot, now nvr need to wait for effect to apply is like magic to me. but i do complain on the booting time, seem too slow sometime, old rig took like 30 second to finish boot, this new rig need like 1 minute plus plus.

One more thing, overclocking head room too low, 3.5 max for me. but since your not overclocking the 2400 seem decent for you.

yeap, must buy the K series if wanna do overclock. But 2400 is really decent to perform all my task, so not complaining la.





Here you go.



Good i think compare to my old gear, photoshop no lag, process video no lag nor crash.
i also uploaded some result here, Pass Mark, you can get a good idea how well it perform.

motherboard wise, i pick this coz of its the cheapest Full ATX P67 mobo, which comes with the old PCI slot, so i can use my sound card, so if you have old pci card that you need to use, this will be a good choice.

Here some pic of my rig

mosta-ly massy got la, hahahaha.

Yeap, same like willaw, at C-zone.
