Please Suggest A Good Socket A Cooler..quiet One!

**jancz3rt** · 10-14-2004, 08:32 AM

Hey everyone,

could anyone of you please suggest a good cooling solution for my CPU? I have an Athlon XP 1800+ TbredA oc'd to XP 2400+. With the Coolermaster that I use I have a problem with quite a bit of noise. Here are the specs..click here. Well what I need is a quiet one with the same performance that could keep my processor cool (Stays below 40Celsius) most of the time. Thanks in advance.

Getting below 40c if your cpu's overclocked is pretty hard....

Staying 40c with an OCd cpu is possible, get a high CFM HSF or WATERCOOLING, or replace the existing fan that you have right now.

Yeah maybe I should leave it. Most people would be delighted to have that temp.

Great HSF, fan controller, not bad price. I've been wanting one for a while but haven't had the funds.

THIS ^ works with almost ALL NF2 based mobos. it will lower your IDLE temperature 1-15C (depends on your setup). It lowered mine from ~40C to ~30C. Very awesome...give it a try.

Thermaltake K7 Silentboost. Very efficient, very quiet. Good for OCers too

freakin' huge, and heavy. but works really well.

**Praetor** · 10-29-2004, 01:30 PM

Believe it or not .. its not the heaviest

Do you know what the price of that fan is. One question...I suppose the pipes that I see bring the hot air into the cooled area and then the cold air comes back down into the HS. Right? Is it really effective?
