Good Athlon 2100+ Heatsink/Fan

I have two Athlon 2100+s that are running too hot for my comfort. So I'm looking to replace the HSF on both. What are some good choices in low noise-solid cooling HSFs. I will not be overclocking either unit. The new HSFs will replace the stock ones provided with Retail processors.

Thanks,
Jason
 
I can't seem to find one of those on mwave.com or newegg.com but they both had the Volcano 9 for $25. Is that decent?

Thanks,
Jason
 
I'm not too sure about the volcano but many have experiences with the sk6. Couple it a with a low noise 60mm fan. Your cpu should cool properly.

try svc.com.
 
Yes, SVC is a good place to get cooling gear (assuming you're in the US). Go for the SK-6 or SK-7 and a low-noise fan. That'll keep them both cool.

i use the Zalman "flower" CNPS-6000Cu. It's big, heavy, solid copper, and pretty obnoxious, but it looks cool, keeps the cpu reasonably cool, and is very very quiet. it better be since it uses a low speed (adjustable) 92mm fan.
