What speed? You will need a cooler which is rated for a given Mhz. I would recommend the Taisol CGK742 or the 760.

Like MCS said, you need an HSF that is related to your CPU speed. For example, I have a Duron 700 that has been stable at 1083MHz, using a Cooler Master DP5-6H11.

Wehn i got my athlon i got a generic sh!te heatsink and told myself i will NOT overclock this, 1 week down the road i was tinkering with the FSB and sh!t, i would just get a FOP32-1 like i have upgraded to

how much do they cost and where can i get them???

You can get a high quality Vantec fan, like the one I use, for $25 shipped. It is great and keeps my CPU cool, even with the 2.2v I feed it.

I have a duron 800 mhz and i o/c it to 950 mz. it wasnt stable when i pushed it to 1 gig. anyways, the fan i have on it is a DP5-6H11

I'm curious about temperatures as well. I'm using a Cooler Master DP5-6H11 as well and two case fans on a Duron 800 that runs 950mhz to 1ghz with voltages running between 1.7 and 1.8. Is there any particular temperature threshold I should look out for? The hottest I've had it run was 114 degrees. The system was still stable, but I'm just wondering how hot is too hot? PC Alert has 122 degrees as the mimimum threshold before it will sound an alarm. I like the extra performance, but I don't want to fry my CPU.
