Best low profile P4 (socket 478) heatsink?

**NoPistonPC** · 05-21-2004, 07:44 PM

I have a P4 Mini-ITX board but the stock Intel heatsink is just too big (although it works very well).

So, I'm thinking about getting either a 1U or 2U-sized lowprofile heatsink. I would prefer a 1U but I'm not sure if any are available in that size that also provide good cooling.

Right now, I'm looking at these two:

Arkua 838T-7G
Spire RackSper III

Any other recommendations/comments?

We are using lowprofile servers at my work and there are heatsinks without a fan above it´s placed on the side and moves away the heat.

weekendowel, thanks for the reply. I can see how a heatsink + a fan on the side would probably work, but I was hoping for a simpler, all-in-one solution.
