new heat sink

[Mr. Lennon]

I recently just got a a64 3200 (newcastle) and so far I am able to overclock it to 2.3 with stock coolingand had it at 2.4, but it would restart after a half hour of gaming. I been looking at these 2 heat sinks and I was wondering which one would be better for me. I have a sonata case so im a little worried about the size of the zalamen. Is it normal for a64 to overclock this high?

Hi,

I'm also using a A64 3200+ and a Sonata case and I used the Cooler Master Hyper 6 Heatsink.
I have mine running 2.53GHZ @ 1.65v currently. You'll need to remove the motherboard to install it.

Damn these Newcastles can really overclock! I would like to have the cooler master, but 50 bucks is a little to much for a cooler. xiode.com is having a sale and the thermaltake silent boost is going for 23 bucks which looks pretty appealing.

Out of those two/three, I'd go for the Zalman, based on general reputation around here. Given the choice, I'd go for a Thermalright though.
