Intel Heat Sink and Fan Repalcement

[pic24]

I want to replace my heat sink and fan on my Intel Core i5 2400 3.10GHz.

My old heat sink and fan was as follows:

E97378-001

CNDP0386L60

DTC-DAA08

12VDC 0.60A

DELTA

I purchased the following new heat sink and fan:

E97378-001

CNDP446K50

DTC-DAA15

12VDC 0.60A

DELTA

Is this new fan and heat sink compatible with my processor?

No, it is not. CNDP446K50 is a 65W cooler, but your processor requires a 95W cooler.

I thought wattage doesn't make a difference on fans, it just means the newer fans are running more efficient, by using less wattage.

In this case, the heatsink-fan can only dissipate the heat generated by a 65W processor. It can not dissipate the heat of a 95W processor.
In reality, at most times, this heatsink-fan could probably handle the heat from the processor, albeit with a higher fan speed. The concern would be times when the processor has a higher - and sustained - load. In these cases, even with the fan at full speed, it isn't going to be able to dissipate the heat being generated. The heat will build up and raise the processor temperature to higher levels, possibly damaging the processor over time.

Thanks Scott.  I also have in my possession the following intel fan and heat sink:

E98290-002

CNDP825Z20

DTC-DAD06

12VDC 0.46A

DELTA

Would this be a better option?  I looked for wattage on this fan but couldn't find it.

I too could not find it's wattage. Hopefully ICS has more information...
