cooler for Barton 2500?

[waylman]

Hi all,

I currently use the stock cooler that came with my Barton but I would like to OC a little so what's a good cooler for this CPU? Any suggestions would be most helpful.

looks good....do I use the stock fan that came with my Barton or is that a no-no?

I'm using the vantec aeroflow. It's got great reviews and still performs very good despite it being quiet. It's heatsink with a fan ontop.

the slk-800 and a good 80mm fan should be great

Are you overclocking with this? I am looking at getting a 2500+ and overclocking it, so i will need a new HSF. I am not going to be able to get a thermalright model (parts store does not carry them), so i am looking for other choices.

I just got a thermaltake volcano 10+ from newegg for $26. It lowered my cpu temp almost 5C, and it's about the same size as the stock cooler (the fan is just a little wider). It is all copper and isn't very loud. It's also AMD recommended and rated up to 3400+!

I am very happy with the Coolermaster HHC-001. It is an all copper heatsink with a heat pipe. With the Asus pc probe my cpu temps 38 c under load.

I just setup a Barton 2500+ rig Saturday for someone. I used the stock HS... I'm going back this weekend to replace it with an SK6+. :|
The stock HS needed lapping big-time. It had to be one of the worst heatsinks I've run across lately.

The SK6+ is silly-cheap, and with a large fan mounted will do a good job cooling with little noise. 😀

I'm using an AX-7 w/ a L1A panaflo that's dead quiet and my temps. are great. i'm not OC'ing though, i'm just making a point that a big heatsink w/ ANY fan is good enough for the 2500.
