looking for h/s fan sugestions for a P3 1G Socket 370. I'm using an alpha pal6035 with a delta black lable. I am looking to put an 80mm fan on something. want to bring down noise but not sacrafice to much on cooling. I also have another P3 cpu that I want to set up in another computer with the same results. any sugestions?
thanks
 
If you're not overclocking and have good case cooling an AddA AD0612LB-A70GL is totally adequate cooling and very quiet for a 60mm fan with an Alpha 6035. You can get one here.
 
What would be a good setup for my other computer. I don't have anything for that one yet. Should I get another Alpha? What is best out there now for this style CPU? I may want to try overclocking.
 
You'd have a hard time going wrong with one of the $5 GC68 HSF's from SVC.com. These are excellent coolers for the money. They'll work great one a PIII and you can put any 80mm fan on then if you decide you want to change.

A more expensive alternative would be one of the Thermalright SK-7 heatsinks for $20. It comes without a fan so you'd have to povide your choice of 80mm fans to go on it.

The PIIIs (even the Coppermines like yours) are pretty easy to cool so you can use a fairly low-flow, quiet 80mm fan on either of these heatsinks. The stock GC68 fan provides plenty of cooling power for your CPU and will certainly be way quieter than what you're currently using. I use one of those very quiet $2.50 18cfm NMB fans on the GC68 on my test rig to cool all sorts of PIII and Celeron CPUs. It works great for cooling even an overclocked PIII-S 1.4Ghz and is nearly inaudible.
 
Thanks for the info. I think I may try the GC68 HSF. which way do you recommend the fan air flow direction to be?
thanks

Blow air onto the CPU. This heatsink (like most) is designed to blow, not to suck.
