CPU Cooling suggestions

[rasta4i]

Greetings,

I'm building a new AMD 1600+MP system and need some suggestions for Heatsink/Fan for the cpu's since I'm buying OEM's. I haven't got much experience installing them so my priorities are ease of installation and lowest noise possible. I won't be overclocking this machine. TIA.

Cheers,
Rasta4i

I love my SK-6, and Sunon fan. Bought mine at 2CoolTek.
The Alpha PAL is also well liked by many.

I second the sk-6..except STAY AWAY FROM THE DELTA fans witht them! i've got one, and it's loud as all get out..pair it with an 80 mm sunon (as suggested above). you can mount the fan diagonally...so you don't need an 80 to 60 mm adapter.
