Thanks for the info guys! The Thermalright ALX-800 looks interesting, can I use an ordinary 80mm case fan and get decent performance with it? I am also leaning towards the Volcano 12.

Yes you can but the thin narrow gapped fins does not perform as well with a low speed fan like on the AX7 which I use.

Doh, they dont sell AX7s anymore.... shucks....

Is it better to use the stock oem heatsink that comes with XP2500+ or GC68?

Yea you have to seek and find the AX7's anymore . I think the GC68 would run the CPU cooler , also
The Kamikaze is a nice HS/Fan as well

Maybe so in your opinion but it's getting some nice reviews

It actually looks a lot like an Alpha 8045, which is not crap.
