What Will Cool My Athlon Xp?

[TeaLeaf]

An excellent review of three different heatsinks is over at Toms Hardware and the final pages give a really interesting reference table noting the thermal performance of various heatsinks and their noise levels.  Well worth a read - you will find it here.

A couple of coolers it does not review though are the Aerocool Deep Impact DP-101 (pricey but a very very efficient heat-pipe cpu cooler) and the copy-cat one mentioned in this thread.

Good reference material none the less.

I've got this heatsink: http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?...?articleID=1126 but with a faster fan, the HHC-001 (No. 5 on this chart http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?...id=1126&page=5) and I can highly reccomend it!

I'm thinking I might get me one of these wee beasties - when they eventually arrive over here from the US.

Swiftech MCX462-V

My ThermalTake Volcano 9 is a bit too noisy when it gets going at full-whack.  So if I stick a quiet 92mm fan on the above - peace should reign in my PC once more.

well my cpu cooler was £5 from maplin and its some sort of coolermaster thingy, no complaints , much quieter than me old one.
