CPU Cooler for a Gateway BTX form factor board

[winste]

Okay.  My cpu has decided to start heating up pretty high.  66 under normal and up to 85 under load.  I have a P4 3.4 processocr on an Intel Southlake MB.  It is Gateways failed attempt at a BTX form factor.

Here is the link to Gateways MB page.

My problem is that even though it is a LGA775 socket, the pin connectors do not match up with the the normal pin placement for a LGA775 cpu cooler.  Right now it has a heat sink and I really want to swap with a fan.

The four pins are in a rectangle shape not in a square.  I can't find any CPU fans that look like they would fit.

Anybody have any suggestions?

If you search for BTX 775 cooler, there are a few options out there.
Type I seems to be the normal standard, and type II coolers are for smaller cases.
Hope this helps.

This one says it's only for up to 3Ghz processors.

I have a 3.4.  Stupid question but will it still work?  Is their that much of a size difference?

Don't get one that isn't rated to cool your CPU.
It won't cool it sufficiently and you'll still have heat problems.
Get a cooler rated for at least 3.4GHz, preferably more.

Yeah, I'd like to.  Problem is I googled BTX 775 cooler and everything is either discontinued or only specifies up to 3.0 Ghz.

There are a couple that don't specifiy up to what processor they will handle.

You're quite correct, I'm having a hard time finding coolers like that too.
You may want to follow the instructions here to clean out your system of dust, which may help with your temperatures.
Hope this helps.
