Cheap 2100+ OC Cooling Solution Suggestions Needed!

[calvink]

I'm looking into the Volcano 10+ A1671 and the Vantec AeroFlow VA4-C7040, they're about the same price of $23/$27. I am willing to spend $30 at max.

The Volcano 10+ is approved for the 3200+ by AMD and is rated for 3400+.

And i'm not sure what the Vantec AeroFlow is rated up too... I'll be using the cooler for overclocking a 2100+ T-Bred B on a nForce 2 board. I'm hoping to hit about 2100Mhz, 13*166. I have a Cooler Master HAC-81, right now and it's not enough. Thanks for your suggestions.

EDIT: Lets add the V11 ($27) too then and the TR2-M2 ($16)

Added a couple more fans to chose from, to make it a bit tougher.

I'd stay away from Thermaltake products, the volcano is a nice heatsink and all but you have to turn that fan all the way up inorder to get decent cooling with it and its pretty loud at full speed. Most people would reccomend a Thermalright SK7 for 19.99 at SVC and matched with a YS Tech variable speed fan or a panaflo L1A.

That ends up being almost $40 bux from SVC. How's this a SK-700 and a Zalman ZM-F1 Noiseless 80mm? It's $32 shipped. I'd prefer going with one of the orginal solutions if they'll work for OC'n a 2100+ to 2100Mhz. Even at $30 its a bit too much for me. Any suggestions are appreciated.

"This "tip-magnetic" design eliminates the major noise source..."

The fan on that Aeroflow isn't as quiet as they would like you to believe. I bought just the fan and it was more than twice (probably more like three times) as loud as the fan I had in there(that and my Enermax PSU couldn't be heard over my TNT Ultra's fan). Sure it might be quiter than other 5600 RPM fans but it is no where near as quiet as what most sites are saying.

Another vote for the sk-7 and ys-tek fan; my palomino 2100+ drove me UP the wall; even an sk6+ was a big help. Course I'm new to worrying about cooling so there may be better solutions up there but the tears on my keyboard finally drived with the above combo
