good fan and heatsink.

[phosho510]

what is a good fan and heatsink. i was thinking about water cooling but i did not want to waste me time to set it up.
i am willing to spend at least 100.

Im guessing you have a LGA775? Heres some heatsinks i like. For cpu fan, a Vantec Tornado is the way to go. You cant find a better cpu fan then that.

Heres the cpu fan.

no, i need a fan and new heatsink for my amd athlon 64 3200+
socket 939. but thanks for the suggestions

Try it with the retail heatsink and see how hot it gets (turn off b4 u hit 65 or lower) I would recomend a heat sink either all copper or a copper center with aluminium fins. The copper will obsorb and disipate the heat faster.

depending on ur motherboard i would get/ have got the thermalright xp120 with a ystech 120mm fan. it keeps my cpu to between 30 and 35 and ive got it running at 3500 speeds.

Zalman fans are you're best bet.. they are quiet as hell and keep the cpu and surrounding chips cool... they are huge though and exceed the recommended weight but I haven't had any problems.

the cu7700 is supposed to be very good but its just as big as the xp120 but ive read the xp120 out performs it. but then again the zalman is cheaper. upto u really. i would get one of them two cos they are in a league of their own

On my XP 2800+ i have a Thermaltake Volcanoe 12, and that keeps it in the 40's while playing Doom 3 and Farcry

I recommend thermaltake xaser 7, I was skeptical at first with it, but it kicks ass with 6000 rpm and all copper heatsink, instead of that aluminum copper core shit.

yea i was thinking of getting a zalman..
