HSF Comparison?

[huesmann]

Are there any recent HSF comparisons out there? The latest shootout on HardOCP is rather elderly. I'm looking to pick a HSF to cool an Athlon 2200+ (and higher when I upgrade) but do it as quietly as possible. No turbo boost, just stock clock.

They are all over the place. Of course, it would be easier to read back 2 or 3 pages and check out the multitude of posts on this very subject. I'm sure the name you'll see most repeated is thermalright. Of course, heatsinks don't actually make noise, so you'll want to couple something like the Ax7/Sk7/Slk800 with a quiet fan *cough NMB cough*. Perhaps an adjustable one? *cough YS Tech cough cough*

Thanks for the info.

You gotta lay off the cigarettes, man.

Thermaltake and Cooler master are pretty good also. Cooler Master has a real nice cooler for AXPs called the Aero 7.

Update: This sight has alot of good stuff also. Killer sight.
