Sorry for asking such a newb question but I'm a little new to this.
Which would be generally be considered better at cooling a Sempron 2800+ when comparing two generic no-name brand cpu fans/heat sinks:
Combo #1: Fan Diameter 2.5 inches, 12 V, .1 A. Heat sink: Silver color with copper disk at bottom where it comes into contact with the CPU, 2.5" width, 3" length, 1.75" tall.
Combo #2: Fan Diameter 3 inches, 12 V, .14 A. Heat sink: Mirrored copper, 2.5" width, 2.75" length, 1" tall.
The reason I am asking is because I know obviously the stronger fan is better, and I'm pretty sure the mirrored copper material is better (although I could be wrong here!), but the fact that the heat sink in combo 1 is so much larger is confusing the issue.
I know that obviously the brand and quality come into play, so I'm just looking for a "Type A is usually better than Type B" answer.
