what good heatsink as good or better then sp-97 I can get that is actully on sale?

been looking for SLK-947U and variants but can't find any store that sells them besides I heard sp97 still beats them so is there newer version that will work and are on sale?

Try the A64 Freezer pro from Arctic Cooling

 

[broken_Naols]

I seconf that, probably one of the better. cheaper coolers. I'm running one now.

I use an AC freezer 64 pro as well and it does a great job at cooling and its very quiet. Regular price is usually under $30. If you are lucky you can find one on sale and get it for low $20's.

 

[JOW!]

I've heard good things about the Sythe Ninja cooler. You can get the "plus" edition (120mm fan included) here on sale for $30.

The Scythe ninja is one of the top coolers. The Tuniq tower may be a tad better, but not so much that you would ever notice a difference.

Not trying to squash all the suggestions above, but from his query I think he's trying to cool a Socket A chip, and none of the coolers mentioned above will fit on a Socket A platform without extensive mods.

For socket A, I guess the SP-97 would be the reigning champ but they are hard to find nowadays. Second best would be the SI-97, the Scythe Katana (aluminium version) might also be a contender, it's not the best HSF out there for Socket A but it's cheap and quiet. Just remember to get the aluminium version, the full copper version doesn't give much differences in temps, maybe a degree or two, that and it costs a whole lot more.

The Big Typhoon is probably your best bet for Socket A, but I hear the mounting is a nightmare.

 

[White_Pawn]

the TT ultra 120 is one of the best. It's so great that you'll never get one. EVER *insert your choice of evil laugh here*

Guys are these for the Athlon XP 2500 oc to 3200?

 

[Yuriman]

The Big Typhoon will work on an Athlon XP 2500. A lot of the other heatsinks mentioned here will not actually fit.

is that one same to or better then the sp97 with its big heatpipes?

 

[Yuriman]

It supports a 120mm fan, rather than a 92mm fan, and has more heatpipes (I think).
