Intel LGA775 Quiet CPU Coolers

Intel's LGA775 (also known as socket T) was released back in 2006 and was Intel's first CPU not to features pins. Intel changed from Socket 478 to LGA775 because the new pin type offers better power distribution to the processor, allowing the front side bus to be raised to 1600 MT/s. There are many CPUs available compatible with this socket type and the heat generation can vary significantly. For example, the Celeron D 450 only generates a chilly 35W, while the volcano-like Core 2 Extreme QX9770 generates a massive 136W!!
