Best heatsink (not fan) for Athlon?

[00Milhouse00]

Hey all,

I was wondering which heatsink has the best performance. I expect to have to buy a heatsink fan combo and remove the fan. The reason for this is that I expect to run some ducting and place a larger fan which would be mounted to the case.
Most reviews I've seen are of the entire HSF and not the individual components.

Any thoughts?

check also witht he m/d, my KT7A RAID has a safety feature where it won't even start up unless the No1 fan header is used. If you a Global WK38, or whatever the prefix is there, it requires to powered directly from your Power unit, as the draw is too high, of course nobody ever tells you this when you buy it, of the fact it's incompatible with your mb, the KT7A has 3phase power, so it might have handled it, but I wasn't willing to fuse something to find out...

get a swiftech heatsink, they are pretty pricey though
