Best HSF for classic athlon OC

[iNo712]

I know almost everyone has moved on to the durons and t-birds, but I still have my classic.
I'm looking for a quality hsf for a classic athlon. I will be overclocking, so it has to be good. Any suggestions? Tried a search, but no results found

i have the alpha k7125! it's awesome! pop a peltier on that thing..and BAM! u got good results! =)

If you're not going to be doing any extreme overclocking, a Golden Orb is inexpensive and decent.

You can't go wrong with either an Alpha or a GlobalWin product. Taisol is also top notch.

I'd try to stay away from the Orb's though...they are pretty, but they don't perform all that well. Even mildly overclocked systems seem to run a bit high when using them.

GW VOS32. Just as good as the alpha but cheaper.

YEP the VOS32 much cheaper and still rules. the thing is huge. Loud though

Thanks for the replies. I was kinda leaning for the GW VOS32. I do remember reading somewhere that the Golden Orbs doesn't perform that well on a slot A (I could be wrong). Also, where can I read up on the Taisol? I don't know too much about them, like cost/performance. Anyways, thanks for the input.

WooHoo! I'm a member! ( as I kick the junior status to the can...! )

another vote for VOS32, my modified one is running my athie650@800 default voltage, it can do 850 @1.8v but it's just 50mhz so I leave it @ 800

Hey what gfd (if any) are you guys using?

Northwind GFD Rev. 3.0 -- small, only 6 dipswitches, no external power needed.

 

[RoninBlackSoul]

I got a Artic Circle (original) that mounts to the core and a K7oc GFD needing to get rid now since I moved on. LMK

 

[shadow]

Northwind Rev2.0 (i've got the 3.0 around here too, and the 1.0(I used to review them))

I just got a Taisol CGK742092 and added the Delta 60mm 39.5dba 30 CFM instead of what I see as a tiny lil fan that comes stock with it. It is a huge heatsink so I would imaging be able to pull heat a little better than what I had before.

Oops scratch that, didn't notice it was a classic Athlon.

Cast my vote for an Alpha P3125 with a pair of Delta black labels for my Classic 950, and a Maximizer GFD for my Classic 600.
