Having a bit of trouble trying to find a CPU HSF.

[VIAN]

I plan on buying a X2 4400+ OEM in the next month. I can't find one that comes with a AMD HSF that's within a reasonable price - about $200, so I turned to third party HSF. I'm having trouble finding a good one though.

I need a HSF that has the following characteristics:

-compatible with socket 939
-doesn't require that I remove the mobo
-has a 3-pin fan connection

And of course, it needs to be as quiet as possible while fitting those specs. I'm looking to spend from 25-50 dollars on it.

Thanks.

Freezer 64 Pro. Uses the same type of mounting as the stock cooler so it is just a snap to put on.

The Freezer 64 Pro is pretty decent. I also had good results with the Thermaltake CL-P0200 cooler as well.

If you decide to go with the Freezer 64 Pro, Provantage.com has been selling them at the best price around.

Thanx. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm obviously F'd. The Freezer 64 Pro that arrived in the mail came with a 4pin fan connector. Any ideas?

It will work fine with 3 pin, I thinks. There's an adapter available I'm sure.

I found this on their website. what a relief.

"Does PWM?s 4-pin fan plug be able to use in 3-pin fan socket o­n mother board?
4-pin fan plug is downward compatible to 3-pin fan socket o­n mother board. The stopper o­n the plug actually guides you to insert."
