Cheapest Way to cool an xp1600?

FunkDaMonkMan · 11-30-02, 12:09 PM

Like the title says.. I'm looking for the cheapest way to reliably cool an xp1600 @ stock speeds. It also has to be fairly quiet.

Suggestions plz..

cheepest? domnt know. you could easily use something cheaper than a volcano7, though

I have a TaiSol CGK760092 heatsink with an 80mm fan on it to cool my xp1600 (currently @1500 at 166fsb-35c idle)

but im sure the standard fan would do an ok job on its own.

its a very cheap heatsink

stock heat sink with stock fan thats the cheapest way to cool a stock cpu, fight stock with stocks

well i'm getting the cpu OEM from newegg. I'll check out that TaiSol, thanks.

If you are looking for cheapest...use the retail chip and replace the chewing gum compound with some Arctic Silver 3. Don't expect much though.

Spend a little time going over the heatsink rankings on the main page and then price them at Newegg. Decide which one gives you the best cooling for the $$ and buy that.

I am using an Alpha PAL8045 with a Sunon fan and it works quite well.

go on svc and buy a svc goldengate 40... the fan is extremely loud... 10 bucks.. u can always get a adapter and put a quiet 80mm. This heatsink was great.

SVC GC68

$6+s/h, aluminium, 80mm fan

Just need to 7-volt it, and you're all set for quiet, decent cooling. You might even be able to overclock slightly; some people have even used it on o'ced Tbirds.

Speaking of the goldengate 40 and a adapter. Question this adapter should work fine with this heatsink? Akasa adapter

I used a volcano 6cu+ on my 1600+ before I oc'ed it and got pretty good results from it. There cheap at newegg. there not as quiet as a stock hs/f, but much quieter than the globalwinCAK38 with the 60mm delta I also have.

I win.

or, if two bucks is too much, you could always blow on it really really hard.
