Best HSF for Athlon XP 1700-2100???

[Lochreas]

What is the best HSF for this series. I want something that will keep my temps between 30-40C in room that is from 75-80F, and is also not very noisy. I have the Volcan 7 right now, and I don't like it all that much. Just give me suggestions and your experiences. I have the 1700 now, but I might upgrade in the future, so I want something that is going to be really good.

Any suggestions at all are appreciated.

Check here (http://www.overclockers.com/articles373) for a comprehensive article on what's good for your system. I do like the AX7, though. Am using it with an Orion 92mm fan, modded to fit.

Alpha 8045T with the Panflo 80m/m 24cfm 21dbA is a quiet combination ... Easy to mount ... Nice piece ...

Suggestion: duct fresh air from the side panel with a 120mm Panaflo to an AX-7. You'll have a 120mm circular opening at your side panel and an 80mm square opening at the AX-7. Make your duct out of thin aluminum found at a Home Depot, cut to size and duct or electrical tape in the shape of a funnel. I once considered doing this... just about did but then figured I'd duct from my wall A/C unit instead.

I had this set up before I bought an AX-7 and a 120mm Panaflo. Worked pretty good. I just wanted to put something together a little more extreme. That reminds me... I'm going to go post my Alpha PAL8045 and my 80mm Panaflo for sale right now... Thanks.
