Getting the SK-6, need advice on a fan

[ahsia]

I need a HSF for my T-Bred 2400+, I plan to do some overclocking, but nothing super extreme. I can get the SK-6 for $10 local here at svc.com, but I need some help on getting a fan. What type of fan do I need to get? 60mm or 80mm? I read about people using 80mm, but something needs to be done to make it fit? Any help is appreciated....

p.s. I am not totally set on the SK-6, so if you want to recommend a HSF in the $20-$25 range, that would be helpful too.... thanks!

Get the SK-7 instead, it accepts 80mm fans and is larger. It is 19.99 at SVC.com.

Also, SK7 gives more headroom for upgrades later.

Thanks!

I'll think about the SK-7. Although the more I look at it, the more unpleasant to the eyes these Thermaltake's are. But I guess they are suppose to be very good performers when it comes to cooling.

I just bought the SK7 myself and have a Thermaltake Smart Case Fan II on it, great thing about this fan is it's variable speed ability thanks to it's thermistor that you attach close to the core of your cpu and regulates the speed of the fan, when the temps go up your fan speeds up to compensate and overall it's a very quiet fan with the latest Tbreds.
