I have my 2.4B (533) running @ 2.7 with the boxed retail cooler, so I
suppose this surely has to work with a 2.4C (800) too. Core voltage = 1.5 V,
no voltage tweeking used.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Should be fine... my P42.4C is running at the 30% OC with RAM at 5:4 with
stock cooling in tower case (closed) with two case fans. Temp reported by
ASUS probe is between 27~36 degrees C based on room temp and load.

Your setup should run cool enough as you stated. BTW, if you use System
Health readings in CMOS add ~10 degrees as it seems ASUS probe & MBM are not
reading the same thing as reported in CMOS.

FWIW,
Len

On an Abit IC-7, known for temp readings about 10C higher than other boards,
I could run a 2.4C at up to 3.0 with the stock voltage and the stock cooler.

But even with the heat sink lapped and using Artic Silver III instead of the
included thermal pad, the cpu was shown idling at 47C and would top 70C
under torture testing with Prime95 or the Sandra burn-in utility.

To get it stable at 3.3ghz, I upped the voltage to 1.575 (which actually
reads as 1.55v on the included Hardware Doctor monitoring software,) and
swapped for a $24 Vantec Aeroflow. Now idle is 45 and max load is 60C.

That's in a case with 120mm intake and exhaust fans and cables tied to
maximize airflow. Interior temps read 30-32C most days.

Bottom line, it's hard to compare temps between one system and another. Some
boards read higher than others, some room are warmer than others, some cases
move air better than others and some cpus need more voltage than others.

But you should be able to run the stock cooler at anything up to 3 ghz in a
well-configured system. If the temps are higher than you like or there are
signs of instability that seem heat-related, you can always replace it with
something beefier.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Are you also using the stock Intel thermal pad or did you remove it and use
a thermal paste like Artic Silver, etc?

You likely will not see a difference in temps at load going from 2.4
to 2.6.
When I first put my system together the temp running prime95 was 54c
at 2.4 to 2.7 Ghz. Tweaking the case for improved airflow and lapping
dropped the those temps 3 degrees.
Mid tower case with 2 120mm fans. I added a old 60mm fan to circulate
air inside the case. It is blowing on the RAM. Cleaned up the wiring
too. The system temp dropped from 44c to 36c when under load for a
long time. 31c to 32c at idle. Room temp is 25c.
I also measure the temp of the air blowing out the back with a digital
indoor-outdoor thermometer. Desktop temp is 76f and case air temp is
85f or about 30c.
I got a Zalman CNPS7000-AlCu CPU cooler next. Good cooling and not
much noise. Load CPU temps are now 44c at 2.95Ghz.
Next thing on my list is a Antec True power 430W PSU to replace the no
name 300W that came with the case.

Guess it all depends on if YOU are comfortable with the temps.

Review of the copper version of the cooler I have. Mine is a copper
aluminum mix that weighs much less.

One thing I like here is that they list the performance against other
coolers including the stock Intel.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
