Welcome to our forums! You'll not find a more friendly place to ask your questions, or even just to goof off occaisionally! :)

Well, you should definately get something better than your OEM hsf if you plan on overclocking. The hsf that you get would depend upon just how much noise you wanted. I think that for a Duron 850 a WBK-38 would be good, and you could always get a beefy 80mm fan for that to help with the noise. You should definately try some ASII on that, too. Get rid of that nasty thermal pad stuff that's probably on there. Case cooling wouldn't hurt, either.
