can the panaflo L1A (for $2.49) cool an athlon 1900+ on top of an alpha pal 8045? i will have 2 rear and 2 front case fans, also panaflo L1A's, so ventilation wont be a problem. does anyone think this will be an efficient cooler for such a high speed system? it will also have a radeon 8500 in it.....

I will be running the same setup starting tomorrow. I'll post back my results. L1A on XP1900+ and Alpha 8045. I went ahead and ordered an Enermax and Sunon fan to see what I get the best results with out of the 3.

I ran that setup for awhile, yes. The PAL8045 + L1A is more than sufficient for an Athlon XP 2000+.

i've built one with that config for my dad.
works perfect.

but it won't give you much room to o/c.

Yup, I just set up that exact combination last weekend. :)

The board hasn't been inside a case yet but it's been running on my workbench stable at 1.74Ghz or so.
