looking for a cheap socketa/370 cpu cooler?

[RobCur]

linklook under cpu accessories 3.50 for foxconn cpu cooler. works great bought a few and my duron 1.3 is alway under 45c...maybe able to cool even XP2800?

here's another one, but be aware that this 2 cooler doesn't give as much cool and is of obsolete componentanother vendors
the one made for socket 370 maybe able to cool up to 1ghz celeron.
for socketa up to 1.3ghertz...otherwise get something stronger like above.
buying from these to save a little maybe not worth it if you can afford something better
but there alright for those who are really cheap like me...

another place for good cheap cpu coolerlink there are also expensive one but this a better place then newegg.com or googlegear.com since they are expert at this sort of thing.

Another good place to buy, although their ResellerRating is only 6.29 for the last 6 months, is SVC.

the 1.99 socket a heatsink looks good i think i like to buy a few. thanks a million...

Beware of the "another vendor" linked heatsink, the one I received wasn't what was pictured, instead is the cheapest heatink I've ever seen, very rough extrusion, crude sleeve-bearing fan, and short but long shape that won't fit on many motherboards, especially not the socket 370 boards... i'd have returned the one I got stuck with except it wasn't worth the hassle since it was so inexpensive.

SVC is pretty cool. I called them on Friday and they said they were having a few issues with their Web server. Apparently, their hosting company wasn't too responsive to their requests. Anyway, I went ahead and placed my order. Also, don't forget to pick up a few NMB 3-wire 80mm cooling fans. I picked up 5 of 'em for $11.00 along with some other goodies in my cart. Enjoy!

i have ordered from SVC a few time and they ship fast and use priority mail my favorite, cheap and got to me in 2 days and their from CA. I would not order from package2you, now known as http://66.216.68.88/ since they sell mostly thing that nobody want or really old stuff thats should have been thrown away. instead sell it (junk) for profit. i bought many stuff from them but they are often defective and i had to throw them away like USB keyboard and USB mouse, both of which are from Mattel for the Barbie machine but they scratch it out so you couldn't tell. cheap stuff isn't alway good you gotta be cautious, some are just there to make quick buck for the seller at our convenient.
A warning to some who like to buy too many at time, not a good ideas since you don't know if it good or not. Try 2-3 at a time and see how well it works before making a massive order I make big mistake because i am the kind that does that and end up throwing most of it away.

with that title, I wonder how many "Forum ettiquette nazis" opened up this thread hoping to flame you

If you want a good CPU cooler at a Great price, don't get the foxconn. Get the GALAXY GC21, it is much better than the foxconn.


HardwareCooling.com has them for $3.50 each and shipping is only $7.00 flat rate. Here is the link to get them.

www.centrix-intl.com has very high shipping. I only order from them when I absolutely have to. The lowest shipping for the Foxconn HSF for me (to AL) would be $9 Fedex Saver.

They are the only place I have been able to find a Pentium 4 CPU Retention Kit For Socket 478. My GA-8IRX Newegg refurb did not come with one. Anybody know where I can find one?

Alot of people have been unhappy with SVC lately, but they've always shipped my stuff out promptly. In fact I ordered 2 fans yesterday and got my Priority Mail tracking number today. Best place to buy cooling products for your PC IMHO.

 

[jacky72]

$9 shipping!! $12.5 total. I just got a cooler master DP5-7JD1B from googlegear $11.99 shipped!

 

[RobCur]

It's for whole sale purchase, you must order more then 1 to save on shipping.
try 5 or 10 and it will like 10 bucks... SVC is pretty much the same, don't order one, try
at least 3 since shipping rate don't change much at all.

This looks like a good value for a quiet copper cooler. Looked on Pricewatch for "GC88" and this vendor advertises $2.50 shipping. The 70mm fan is smaller than the 80mm on the $6 aluminum GC118 (same as GC68 @$5 + s&h at SVC), but similarly quiet. My main concern would be that the copper fins seem to be very close together and might need the dust cleared out fairly often.
