Cooling an XP 2100 with air

[buckmasterson]

I have an upgrade coming. The person wants an ECS K7S5A with a 2100 XP processor. He has an Antec mid-tower case with 3 fans. Liquid cooling is out of the que$tion. What Heatsink/Fan would you recomend for a 2100?

Thanx...

Thermal Right AX-7 with a panaflow is about as good as you can do.
Here is a large heatsink performace database. AX-7 is the best for the money.

Thermalright SLK800 with YS Tech rheostat controlled 48.7 cfm 39.5 dBa 3-pin fan.

Quiet and good cooling. It is the big brother to the AX-7, assuming it will fit on that motherboard. I am using it on my XP 2100+, 41C at the moment with Artic Silver III. It may not be as good price/performance as the AX-7, but you will be able to run it quieter at the same temp or at a lower temp with the same fan settings.
