HSF for a mobile XP?

[forcemac101]

THinking about using a mobile 2400 for a HTPC, and I have an orginal Volcano HSF (plain Aluminum with 60mm fan).....just wondering if that would be enought for a mobile 2400? I think it was orginally for a P3 I had.....

I'm sorry, but I have to say this:

How could you possilbly be so cheap as to not be willing to spend $10 for a stock AMD HSF!???? You're crazy if you think a P3 cooler will keep a Mobile XP chip cool...it's asking for trouble. Think of it as a $10 insurance policy for your $300 rig.

Also, why would you buy a mobile chip if you're not going to overclock it? It makes no sense to me. Save yourself $10 and buy a retail 2500+ chip, and it will come with the stock cooler, saving you another $10.

Its for a HTPC, I need some cool'er running...

Oh ok then that makes sense now.

I apologize if I came across a little harsh there. Just buy a new HSF, trust me, you don't want to fry your system over $10.

well, I cant find it anyways...so whats a good **quiet** hsf. I haven't got the case yet, but I am thinking about the Cooler Master Desktop Case (M-ATX), so I don't think a Zalman CUAL 7000 will work

You can't find a stock AMD HSF anywhere? As long as you can find something that's rated for 2200mhz or so on an AMD setup you should be fine. $10 should do the trick.

can't find the volcano......anywho...if I am going to drop some change.....I am thinking bout a Coolermaster Jet....but gotta research them some more....

The stock AMD fans arent exactly quiet.

This might be around what you are looking for if you arent planning on overclocking
its also only $10 Speeze WhisperRock II

$8 all copper, whisper quiet, it's the best sub $20 HSF. I over clock a 1.8 to 2.34 wih this thing.
