Cooling Requirements

I've got a Alpha 8045 heatsink with Panflo fan (sticker worn away, don't know specs) on an AMD Thunderbird 1 ghz, and a 42 CFM Panflo on the back of the case. Temperature is around 38 Celcius for the CPU and 21 for the ambient system according to the Bios, but it'll go higher during mid-summer and/or heavy load.

Can I put an Athlon XP 2400 in with this setup, or do I need additional cooling / better CPU fan? I'm not looking to do any overclocking.

Thanks.
 
An Alpha 8045 might work if you don't overclock it. Give it a try!

Or look into getting a Thermalrigh 9xx series heatsink, or Zalman flower heatsink. Both are good choices if you decide to upgrade.
 
Thanks! I'm goin with an Athlon 2200 XP.. should be a bit less heat then the 2400 (and 7 bucks cheaper), and the ambient temperature of the room is steadily growing colder.. will be until next spring :/

 
nothing wrong with the alpha 8045


get the 35w 2400+ or 2600+ 45w mobile xp ,



go with a 32 to 43 cfm fan


temps will be just fine.
