FOP32 or something else

[i12bina3]

tomorrow im planning on buying or ordering a new heatsink fan ... what should i buy? i heard the FOP is very good but i also heard the glaciator is nice ... but im not willing to pay a fortune for it like the silverado noise control ...
the hsf is for my duron 750 on my kt7e
thx

I use a FOP32 with a YS-Tech fan on my overclocked Duron 800 and consider this to be a good performer when considering the price, it certainly keeps my Duron well under 50c on load

Yeah, a Fop32-1 should be fine for you, its is like a FOP32 just a bit quieter I think. But be sure not to get anything over a FOP32, because anything over that woul be overkill. Unless of corse you plan on OCing it.

the fop is getting a bit old now, I would really recomend a copper heatsink, either the sk6 or glaciator would be a good choice, the sk6 having the best performance and the glaciator coming very close but being quieter. If you really want an aluminium heatsink then I would say the thermoengine is a good choice.

[i12bina3]

phil ... so you are suggesting a glaciator for my OCed duron ... how much will that cost me?
thx for the repsond people

[Phil]

depends on whether or not you know of any online stores situated in your country, if not your best bet is from overclock.co.uk (http://www.overclock.co.uk) which would be about £50($70-80us) including shipping

wauw that is a bit too expensive ... just think about it if i pay 50$ for a cooler i can as well pay 20$ more and have a athlon 1gig
so now i was thinking about buying a hsf that costs 20-30$ but nothing more ... what is the best one at this price?

[Phil]

I know it is quite pricey, especially when it only costs half as much in the US. A low priced but good performer is the Taisol cgk 760, I would recomend using an 80mm fan on this as it is 60x80mm so you should get about 3/4 of the airflow on it.

[i12bina3]

can you give me the link on overclock.co.uk
thx
and what about the fop38 ... its cheap and i think itll cool great ... the only prob is the noise i guess :(

[i12bina3]

ok i found it: ThermalTake Volcano 6 Cu
i can buy this hsf for about 15$ i think this is real cheap and i dont need more for my duron 750

[Phil]

the fop 38 is the same as the 32 but with a delta, it performs ok but only because of the delta fan. The volcano you mentioned is a reasonable cooler, do you plan on overclocking though?

[i12bina3]

yes i want to go to 900 maybe 1000 with my duron 750

[Phil]

I would think it would be good enough to achieve up to 1ghz, as long as you have a few case fans as well.

[i12bina3]

yes im planning on putting another two case fans
2 suckholes ... 1 in the front, 1 in the back 1 blowhole at the top
i think that would be enough to keep the entire thing cold
