hello ladies n gents,

got my hands a dual p3 motherboard.. the sockets are pretty tight fit.. and the stock heatsink's are not that big.. but big enough that they can't be mounted dew the tight placement of the cpu sockets.

looking around for heatsinks to use, can't really tell from the pics i've been seeing.

anyone from experience know of a good heatsink to fit in tight areas thats low noise?

thanks

You didn't mention the mobo you have, but I just checked at coolerguys.com and they still have some Thermosonic Thermoengines for $12.95. They are pretty narrow and will most probably fit your mobo. If the stock 60 X 10 mm fan doesn't cool well enough, you can always mount a 27 cfm YS Tech fan on it with no problems. I have a friend using one of these; it's a decent hsf.
