Need the best cooler for AMD Socket A with fan included

soundfx4 · Jun 12, 2003

Hey I'm looking for an all copper smooth finish HSF for and AMD XP 2100+ but don't want to spend 50 bucks on the thermalright 900Ku or whatever the model

anyway, Can I get some recommendations? Thanks for the help!

I'd say the AX-7 $18 from SVC along with a generic fan that pushes 30cfm. That way you won't spend more then $25 and your temps will be great.

Ok, thanks

I would opt for the SLK-700 (http://www.svc.com/thersl.html) with this fan (http://www.svc.com/70ystmdfan.html). I believe that that heatsink takes a 70mm fan.

Thank you,
Daniel

I've had good luck with the VANTEC AeroFlow, it's quite and cools fairly well. I replaced it with a SLK-900 because I was trying to get the last bit out of my overclock without going to water. Decided that I'm going to water anyway.
I've got a COOLERMASTER AERO 7+ also that I just put on the other day. The clip that comes with it holds the heatsink a bit loose. I've had two other people tell me theres are the same way. I replaced it with a clip off an older Thermaltake volcano 6 that I had, works like a champ now!

OH yeah, I forgot to mention that the processor is running at 50-60 degrees Celcius. Hehe, I don't know if this changes any recomendations but just in case I thought I should mention that. It is running using the retail included cooler. Is that normal for a stock cooler? Because I just remembered someone else that was replying to an earlier post of mine said that there processor's core was chipped and because of that it was running at 60 C all the time. I just want to make sure that the processor is ok, because it is still under warranty if it's chiped

Thanks again for all the suggestions!

Yeah, that is normal for the stock cooler.

you might consider the sk-7 for $20 and the thermaltake smart fan 2 for $10 from svc.com

i heard the X-dream SE(copper) is uber nice, but Im not sure of the price. I know you can get the regular X-dream(Aluminum) for about 11 bucks which is also rumored to be just as nice. try that Pricewatcher web site for the best price.

Take your pick... you do have to buy a fan with these though. But that SK-6+ for $12.99 is a blowout deal.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

I'd simply step down a step in their product range and go for the SK-7 then.. will probably cost you about 25 bucks..
