Coolermaster DP5-6H51 Question

[ginky4]

I have a AMD Thunderbird 1.2ghtz processor on order. I need the correct heat sink and fan. Is Coolermaster a good option?. I noticed that they have different ones that are rated up to 1.2ghtz for cooling. How can I tell what the correct one should be? I have an Abit KT7 Raid motherboard.

It's approved by AMD up to 1.2Ghz.

Hey ginly 4, the heatsink of that cooler has not thermal compud, am I right?

If this the case you must get some before go any beyond, (ASAP)

I tell you this 'cause I have the same cooler.

Regards!

If you can purchase one for $10. to $12. they are adaquate hsf's for normal use.
For over-clocking, you will need a better one.
I found a GlobalWin FOP32-1 locally for only $20., they are better but also louder.

ginky4: I have the nonRAID version of the same mobo and use a Cooler Master DP5-6H11 (And thermal compound but that's a given in virtually any cooling arrangement.)

My experience with this setup:

D600 stable @ 900MHz;
D700 stable @ 1083MHz.
