Duron/T-bird - Anyone using Alpha Coolers?

[ToastJam]

Hi Chaps,

Just want to know if anyone is using Alpha coolers with their Duron/T-bird Socket A. If so which model of Alpha?

Cheers for any help.

Use the GlobalWin FOP32. You can check it out here http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/1/cat1.htm?665 The price is $20 but it looks pretty good to me.

You might want to take a look at this thread about the Alphas and Socket A.🙂

what's the point of an alpha if you can't overclock?seems like overkill to me

I should have noted the gist of the link I posted above.
The member had contacted Alpha about the heatsinks and the post gives two responses from Alpha. Basically they do not recommend using either the PAL or PFH because of a problem with the clips pulling the heatsink down tight enough. New versions are coming out with new clip design.
I read Anand's new review and didn't see any mention of the problem. Don't know if he has the new version the Alpha e-mails mention are coming out.🙂
