Ok so I have a cooler on the way but it will take 2-3 days to arrive. In the meantime I want to install an Operating system + other software on my old computer machine and the only available cooler I have sucks.

This system is outdated but im going to get it running to have a spare machine for another room and its a 775 socket.

The cpu I have is the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66Ghz 95W TDP

The only cooler I have available right now is the Deepcool Alpha 9 which is a cheap weak cooler and from what I know it can handle 65W TDP but im unsure. On the detail of this cooler it says 65W Core 2 Duo / Pentium Dual-Core / Celeron Dual-core and Celeron D.

Now im unsure if this cooler will hold up for just a hour or so, so i am able to install a operating system + other software, or will it not be enough?
