Designed for the computer user who wants a better cooler than the stock one that Intel provides with its CPUs, the ASUS P5A2-8SB4W offers improved CPU cooling at an affordable price. The 80mm 4500RPM fan moves 53.1CFM over the innovatively designed heatsink and cooling fin combination to provide stable, reliable computing.
Excess airflow cools the motherboard components as well. PWM functionality lets the computer adjust the fan's speed depending upon heat load. During off-peak computing, this will lower the fan's speed – and noise level. Its compact design is only 10mm wider than the fan itself ensuring maximum clearance from other components within the computer case.
The P5A2-8SB4W is specifically designed to cool Intel processors using the Socket 775. This includes Core 2 Duo, Pentium 4s, Pentium Ds up to 3.4 GHz and Celeron D CPUs. Its light 490 gram weight prevents stress on the motherboard and it installs securely and stably with the included spring screws. If you feel that your CPU is running a little hotter than you like, the P5A2-8SB4W is your best value to protect your computing investment.

just a bit too loud
- Pros: Its a good cooler for less than 15$. It doesn't seem to be that hard to install.
- Cons: Noise. Simply, its too loud for my tastes, and it has to go to less than 50% to get to a quiet level for me, using speedfan.
- Other Thoughts: If you're just looking for something that's not going to break your wallet for a cooler, this'll work.
Great Fan
- Pros: This is a very good fan its got a big heatsink and it keeps my pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz very cool only about 100F on idle and 116F on load!
- Cons: It is very loud when running at full speed and it can get a little loud when running games like FSX or need for speed! That is why I gave it four eggs!
- Other Thoughts: After turing on the SMART control in the bios it runs at less that half speeed and it is very silent! But I would recommend this to anyone!
