Good HSF for XP 3000+?

[450R]

Hi,

I'm about to upgrade my 2100+ to a 3000+ and I was wondering if anyone could point out an adequate HSF to cool it? I was looking at the Zalman CNPS7000 but I don't think my 8RDA3I is compatible. Trying to keep noise to a minimum.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Thermalright XP-90 with a panaflo, or an XP-120 with a panaflo/nexus.

Aren't those both Athlon 64 heatsinks?

Sorry if I didn't clarify, this is for an Athlon XP-M 3000+ Barton.

Nope, they'll work fine with Socket A too I believe. Same with the Zalman 7000Cu/AlCu.

Not bad then! The problem with the Zalman is that I don't have the mounting holes on my motherboard...

Thanks for the suggestion.

The Thermaltake Volcano 12 will work too, but don't forget to use the thermalprobe or the fan controller.

Off topic, but you may wanna check around if you haven't already. Last I heard was that the 3000 mobiles were not a good deal. They didn't reach any higher speeds than the less expensive mobiles. But it's been a while since the subject came up.

I'd like to see these new Socket A compatible XP-90 & XP-120 heatsinks.

"I believe" was the key word. I know the Zalman 7000 series works with them.

what about thermalright's SP-97 (like an XP-90/120 except all copper, and for socket A)

That's mainly what I was looking at, Messiah. Just wanted to know if I had missed anything.

Fern, you're right, it isn't that good of a deal ... but I wasn't really planning on overclocking it too much. Just wanted a simple upgrade to use this XMS3200 at 400mhz FSB. I also figured the 3000+ would run cooler at that speed than a 2600+ o/c'd to that would ... but I'm just guessing really.

Thanks for the responses ... I'll probably go with the SI-97 and a Panaflo M1.

Thanks for the link, FrozenCPU rocks, ordered from them a few times. sidewindercomputers.com has a better deal this time around, though ... $36 for the SI-97 and $9 for the Panaflo.
