I'm thinking about getting a new heatsink to keep my temps down, and possibly o/c later on. I'm using an AMD t-bird 1.1 on a kt7a-raid mobo. I don't really care on the cost, but the lower the better. Which heatsink would work best for my setup and stay within the weight limit? Noise isn't really a concern, either.
Alpha shame u can only buy from OcUK -> look at PCPZ quiet cou cooling guide unless you want a jetcool (higer temps)
well, any moderatley good heatsink will work ok in your situation. How about a Thermoengine with delta fan or a Thermalright SK6, if you check the poll at the top of this forum, you can see that most people have Taisol heatsinks. -c
Never like putting alphas on abit mobos as the capacitors are alittle to close for my likeing get a thermo engine (resonable performace for the money) and put a better fan on it than the stander one provided. Deltas are a bit noisy having side that ive got 6 of them in me case good job the case is in the next room. Having said that the other half thinks world war 3 is kicking off when i turn the fan bus up. And my ikle cousin thinks its sounds like a jet figter :rofl: but at the end of the day what ever you chose youll have to comprimise between noise and performance with an air cooled system
hmm Sorry for the stupid question, but I don't see anything called alpha for sale? I looked at tekheads and overclock.co.uk . My case temps are fine, about 27-29C all the time. I just wanna buy one really good heatsink/fan combo for my cpu to keep it down. How much would the shipping be to the US?
here ya go mate... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Alpha_CPU_Coolers_28.html -c
thx Thanks for the feedback, looks like I'll get my stuff from the us site (Alpha and a delta maybe) Can someone give me a pic of how tight the squeeze is for the alpha on the kt7a-raid? Also, do I need to get Arctic Silve II or anything like that?
