Best heatsink/fan combo for athlon classic (slotA)...

topic says it all....
i am in the market for a good heatsink that will put my 700mhz
(.18 -- 800core w/2.9ns cache)
over 800nhz fairly easy...i am also working on some case mods(ya know the typical fan stuff) so i would love to hit a gig!!!! if possible?
whats the best heatsink/fan combo that will fit my asus k7v mobo? i do not mind lossing one dimm slot if necessary!!! i am looking for a HSK combo that can sit on the athlon "NAKED" no casing or metal back plate!!!

where can i get the best HSF for the best price?
also looking for a GFD cheap that will do the job!!! do the cheaper (less dip switches) do just as good?

Thanks guys

I would suggest the Alpha

That's what I have.

second vote for the alpha. Globalwin makes some good stuff also.

Your best bet if you want to buy one that fits right on the core, is to post a WTB (want to buy) on this for sale forum, and the AMD Zone's for an Arctic Circle. I have used many of them when they were available. It is a good solution compared to modding an Alpha if you could find one.

Also, there is someplace that used to sell VOS32+'s that were made to fit against the core, but I do not remember where.

EDIT: Here is a link to a forum member that had an Arctic Circle for sale a couple of weeks ago, he did not post the 2nd one as sold, so he may still have it. Arctic Circle Link

For the GFD, try the Afterburner made by Outside Loop Computers (no dipswitches, dials/knobs instead!) or the Northwind GFD Rev. 3.0, under $20.
