First, I cooled it with a Q6600 overclocked to 3.8, then I replaced the Q6600 with a Xeon E5450 and overclocked it to 4.2. Tested for two days, more than 57 did not heat up. I took off the fan, began to warm up to 61-62 after an hour under the linpak. But in real life, such loads do not exist, this must be understood. In the spring, for fun, I ordered an X5470 on Ali for 800, it has a TDP of 120 watts. I overclocked it to 4.6 (it didn’t fly anymore, they sent an unsuccessful stepping, I didn’t have to take the cheapest xD) it warmed up to 70, quickly attached the fan back, it became 65-66 and didn’t rise higher. I also installed Q8300, but it doesn't run well, it was 40 degrees with it. I recommend everyone who has a 775 socket to buy an E5450 with this cooler! You can drive up to 4.2 and it will be several times cheaper than switching to i5.
