I need to know what is the best hs/f combo is right now

my rig:

AMD Athlon Xp 2000+
512mb 2700 Samsung
Gigabyte GA-7VAX
retail hs/f
radeon 9000pro
lite-on 48/24/48 burner
lite-on 16x dvd
sb live 5.1
antec Plusview1000AMG
maxtor 40gb 7200rpm hd 2mb cache

I dont plan on overclocking but i am going to drop my multi and up my bus so the ram and fsb run in sync at 333mhz

I want to have the setup quiet yet have still have efficient cooling, what would be the best option for me?
Should I go for watercooling? or what...?

Thanks!!
 
water cooling would be quietest

maybe a big heatsink like ax7, swiftech mcx462, alpha pal8045 with a relatively low noise fan

btw, even when you increase the fsb but drop the mult to keep the speed the same, you are "technically" overclocking 🙂

also with xp2000+ that might be difficult
 
what fan would you recommend?

and why would that be hard to do on the 2000+?

and yes i know its "technically" overclocking but its not lol
 
dependson the noise level you would prefer
i would go with a 68cfm delta or close to that personally lol

those are 80mm heatsinks, so a 80mm fan would be needed

Y S TECH 80x80x25mm, TWO Ball Bearings, Case Fan, DC 12V, 3.12W 3700 RPM 48.5 CFM 37dBA $6.00

or some adjustable ones (manually or thermal adjustable)

VANTEC's ThermoFlow TF8025 Temperature Control Sensor Adjusts Fan Speed Automatically. $12.00

from www.newegg.com
they have a pretty good selection (alot more than waht i have above)

xp2000+ were not really the best overclockers...so maybe it will be hard
but perhaps lowering the mult will make it feasible
