I am going to get a Shuttle Zen. I have heard the Prescott CPU's run hotter. But does it make much difference? Doesn't the Zen Shuttle use a silent cooling solution?

Just seen another thread that says I should go for a Northwood as it is cooler. Should I get the one with HT?
Is this a Northwood?

Yeha
Wouldnt like to put a prescott in a shuttle :eek:, toasty
a p43.2ee beats a p43.2 prescott :/
the deeper pipeline is too much of a performance drop even with the extra l2 and better bpu
You can put a prescott in a shuttle no worries. I know the SB75S has been tested by SFF tech and they are completely satisfied with its cooling of prescott CPUs.
But, getting a pentium 4 extreme edition would provide better performance. Prescott chips won't be better performers for quite some time now.
I've just bought a 3GHz Northwood for my shuttle. I wouldn't touch a Prescott without cascade vapour phase cooling! :D
If I remember correctly the Northwood kicks out 89W of heat and the Prescotts do 100W :-/
This speaks volumes...

Quick note... The ones that end E are the Prescotts. The ones without the E are the Northwoods. The EEs are the Exterme Editions.
The only way I could recommend a Prescott is if you live in a house with no central heating, its -20 and the end of your nose is blue. :eek:
So, if you live in Newcastle you should be ok ;)

b1g1an, you mis-read the thread. The Note you quotes is for the pic I included from Tom's Hardware and not the Intel naming scheme, actually :D
Hey your handbag hit me when you took a swing. Apologies! :p
I put a 6800 Ultra in it to get a bit more punch to it :P
