I had a Duron 850 oc'd with voltage at 1.90v My load temps were about 55c with a Volcano 6Cu+ HSF. I just picked up an Athlon XP 1800+ and want to overclock a little bit. Will the Volcano 6Cu+ provide me with enough cooling power on this newer cpu?
 
Well, you'll be able to go a little ways, but you could definately do better with better cooling. You'll do better than the stock heatsink.
 
That was the first heatsink/fan I bought for my 1800+ pally. It worked fine running stock, and was acceptable with a mild OC. However it will also depend on your ambient temp. But it is definately better than a stock heatsink.
