Which cooler for my P4-1.8A+board?

[maxleo]

Hello all,

I ordered the P4-1.8 Northwood System below, and will try to overclock it to 2400 (or above:-). But seems the Alpha 8045 is for AMD only - right? Which other cooler is also strong, and fits to to the P4A and also my board?

Thanks a lot!! Max

seems to be also for stupids like me...mmm think about...:-) Pro: could be used it in future also for other cpu's, as i guess (the usual fans are all somehow specific) puuu, 300 Swiss francs - lets sleep about ! :-):-)

Ok 150$ complete, is more than the Swiftec - but it's silent, and ultra strong!

Thank you all for your Input! max
