quiet cooler for athlon 3000 939 w/ neo2plat

[JustinHoMi]

I'm getting ready to order an athlon 64 3000 939 90nm along with an msi neo2 platinum to go in my sonata. I'm trying to find a fan that will cool it well, but silently. Someone recommened the XP-120, but I don't believe that would fit in my configuration (smallish case and strangely layed out mb). Also, it's expensive!

What other quiet coolers are around that will allow me to still overclock?

Thanks!
Justin

i dont oc but temps are low enough to assume it would oc decently.

That's an interesting design. I wonder if it would fit in my case.

course it would.

Hmm, thats an interesting cpu cooler, I wonder how it stacks up against zalman 7000 or xp-90.

i read a review somewhere and it said its better than the xp-90. so i bought it. keeps my temps 1° lower than the thermal right while being more quiet so im happy. since its only 1° tho it still doesnt cool as the xp 120. if you want max air cooling there seems to be no other option than that xp 120.

That linky doesn't work for me. I get an "error 403: Forbidden!" error. Same thing at their main website.

I am also looking for a reasonably priced and quiet 939 sink and fan . . .
