AMD's retail HS is what I have.

[The Coolest]

Here is the heatsink I have, though the fan on mine is 60x60x25mm, in the pic the fan is 60x60x10mm

But now you can see what the hell "Green Cooler" means in my sig.here (http://www.overclockers.com/articles471/amdr2.jpg) is my HS's picture.

This HS is installed on my old rig, its 60x60mm, on my new one I got the same HS though its 60x80mm that's all the diference. I guess if I had money or place to buy a better HS in Israel, then my temps could drop dramaticly!!!
Though I don't have niether of them, so I'm working on my watercooling...

[Wega!]

Yeah, I really think you could make that CPU run much faster with a new cooler. I have a CPU with the same stepping, and I'm @1490 with the Taisol CGK760. I have ordered a Alpha 8045, and I hope it will give me at least 1550MHz.

I'm looking forward to hear how it goes when you get some watercooling on that CPU. :)

Good luck....

yuck - quick take my thermoengine! lol, i hope you get the water cooling working soon. i would be quite interested in seeing the temp drop

I'm making the waterblock in a way that an old P-1 HS is the base, the sides are made out of cut credit cards glues with lots of cilicone. My bong tower is complete also, I'm having one only problem: and its finding the top for the water block, I need a piece of hard plastic or something... Can't find nothing that will do... :(
But I haven't give up yet... I think I'll come up w/ something...
Thx for the replays.

Walter:-)>> I though you were making 1490 with water cooling, didn't u? or am I confusing u w/ someone else? My problem would be that my max. Vcore is 1.85V (real ~1.91V), so could be I won't be able to get to where u are now... But in the future could be I'll do a volt mod and solve this issue.

Nope, no watercooling. Just me and my good old Taisol :) My problem is also the Vcore. My board supports Vcore's above 2V, but My PSU can't handle it, so I'm only getting 1.95V even though I set the MoBo to 2.2V :( I'm trying to get a PSU more, so I can get a higher Vcore. The extra Vcore and the Alpha should make me able to reach 1550MHz... I hope so :D
