Cooling my Athlon

[mousepad]

Hey, I have gone through a couple of heatsink+fan combos, but they both just don't seem to cut it. I have an Athlon XP 2600+ (not overclocked). My house is usually around 78-80 degrees but my cpu usually idles around 111-118 farenhieght and it will run at 125 on extreme load. I feel this is much too hot and what a better heatsink/fan combo. Would this be suitable? Anyways here is a list of the manufacturers. I would appreciate any help.

A Volcano 11 or 12 should do the trick. I think they are pretty much the best coolers around for the price.

Those are fairly normal temps for the 2600. The lowest I've had mine is 32C and that is with a slk-800a and a 80mm tornado at full blast. If you're not going to overclock then I wouldn't worry about the temp that you have. It's not worth spending more money on.

BTW what heatsinks have you gone through?
