Reccomend me a Good Socket A cooler

[OverVolt]

Well, Basically i need a decent cheap cooler for some 2400+ T-Breds or 2500+ Bartons, i plan on Oc'ing as high as i can go with decent temps, and not too loud coolers. These will be in diskless machines where i hope the cost will be under $200 per machine, so cost is a big factor.

Anyway, Thanks! (links make life easier )

I have had good experiences with the Speeze Falconrock HSF, extremely cheap (10.99 I believe at Newegg) and cools my 2500+ @ 3200+ very well, keeping it at around 41C at Load.

EDIT: Here's a Link, the price is actually 12.99 w/Free Shipping.

Thanks for the link, i was looking at the speeze but i wasn't sure on how well it would cool with only 28CFM. Thanks for the info!

Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2M, it's 15 bucks on newegg, I own one, its DEAD silent Good luck!

EDIT: Here's a linky newegg

I have a Vantec Aeroflow. Not bad; cools pretty well, but it's not as quiet as I'd hoped (still quieter than a lot of other coolers, though). I've also heard a lot of recommendations for that Speeze, probably because it's only $13!

I agree, although some people love to showoff their stuff (I do)

Speeze Falcon Rock < $20. Maybe, closer to $10.00
Speeze has a couple of different models for about $10.00 that are oversized but tapered that have a 80mm Fan that spins at lower RPM's.

Just use the retail one. I do with a 2500 oc to 3200 speeds. Getting around 50 degrees full load. Not bad.

Yeah I like the factory AMD HSF's too.

Using a XP2800+ AMD at home I use a Retail Cooler. How much of a real advantage do you expect to get by overclocking? If some program runs 5% faster who will notice?

you can get a volcano 12 for $25. it kept my 2.6ghz barton cool. very noisey though.

If you're just going to do modest OCing, go for the Arctic. Those things are just as silent as they advertise, and should easily handle a 2500@3200 speeds.
