right now i'm using a Radio Shack POS socket 7 heatsink for my P200, and i'm curious if there are any other heatsink/fans which would work better for this?

thanks

The Alpha Pal6035 would work but it's worth more then the cpu so it would be a waste!

A p200 doesn't heat up much anyways!

the one i'm using is getting pretty hot with that POS radioshack sink. it think it's also because there are the voltage regulator heatsinks right below the socket, so the heat from those is getting to the CPU too. would a cheap Vantek work/fit?

Lots of stuff would work better, I'm sure. Might try the $10.50 Vantec from 2cooltek, or go all out and get the big blue vantec Socket-A(fits socket-7 as well) for an extra $4.50. Maybe even a Taisol, you'll want to tweak the clip, as they fit really tight....
