Whats the best hsf for AMD 64 939?

[Sh0r_ty]

Just wondering what the best hsf is for 939 socket? planning on OCing

I've heard good things about the Venus 12, is that the best i can get for cooling (not water)

I don't know of one better, if that helps.

cool i was reading some reviews and i heard of some insane things that the Venus 12 has done for people (one person has his CPU cooler than his room, don't even know if thats possible) and i can't really afford water cooling so it looked like a good option

That is not possible, CPU temp will always be above Room temp

A question, is the stock Hsf with the 64 3000+ good enough for overclocking?

 

[ag3]

I would not recommend using the stock heatsink/fan for overclocking.

I have seen the best results with Cooler Master's HYPER 48.

i know this thread is about AMD 939s, but i actually have a question related to the venus 12.

i have an XP2500 barton core, it can easily be oc'd to xp3200 speeds, my question is can the venus 12 be used on socket As?
