Need advice on HSF combo for OC'ing a 2.4C

[Skooter]

Going to be overclocking a 2.4C to at least 3ghz hopefully. I'm wondering if an SK-7 + 80mm ys-tech will do the job, or if i need to rob a bank and get a slk-800/900 combo. thanks

Use the retail, it works fine. My roommate's 2.4C is at 3GHz and going strong. People have been using the retail P4 heatsinks for a long time now for quite decent overclocks. Just as a warning, if you get an Abit IC7 and see horribly high temps, it's normal and you should find the other threads about it.

anyone else or does everyone agree?

I'd get an Antec Aeroflow or a Coolermaster Aero7/Aero7+. These 2 are the best of the best, CPU-cooling wise, IMHO.

SK7 will work pretty well but I would go with the best and highest rated HS....SLK800/SLK900.

yeah, the best is the SLK-U 800 for the P4. Will definately save you some degrees
