New heatsink for AMD XP 2100+

[imported_powdahound]

My next upgrade is going to be to a 3800+ / PCI-X and all of that, but that won't be for another 6 months at least. I'd like to OC my current system until then, and am looking for a powerful heatsink. Right now I have the CoolerMaster Jet 7 and it does a decent job, but is more of a designer product and doesn't give me much room to OC. Mobo is an Epox 8k3a so I need something that'll fit that. Going to be getting an X800 pro for a LAN at the end of july but don't want to upgrade my entire CPU and everything for it.

I know I can get this chip to at least 2.2ghz because I've done it before, but it was just way too hot for games/etc.

Noise isn't too big of a factor, but the quieter the better of course.

Thanks in advance.

Actually I've decided that I'm just going to upgrade to an Asus A7N8X, Barton 3000+, and 9800 Pro, but am still looking for a heatsink.

My favorite is the Zalman CNPS7000 for $39.95 No known conflicts with any AMD motherboards, only 20.0 dB, and highly efficient thermal transfer.

If you want to dress up that 9800 and keep it very cool, try both the ZM80C Zalman Quiet Video Card Heatpipe, and the Zalman OP-1 fan on top. Noise output on the fan is also only 20.0 dB.

I have a Zalman PSU now and love it. They make great stuff. Thanks for the suggestions!

Here's what I've picked out:

AMD Athlon XP 3000+ "Barton", 333 FSB, OEM
ATI 9800 Pro
ASUS "A7N8X" nForce2 Ultra 400
Zalman CNPS7000-Cu
ZM80C Zalman Quiet Video Card Heatpipe
ZM-OP1 (Quiet Fan for ZM80C-HP)
Total: ~$500

Both look good and are the same price... hmm

Powdahound and all,

Sanity check on these HSF's...

They show support for the Athlon 64, Athlon FX and Opteron. Has anybody tried these on the Athlon XP?

I thought I'd seen the XP listed in the original specs, but now that I double checked I don't see it.

Good luck,
Metron

*edit* You might need to go with this Nexus AXP-3200. Only 19 dB!
