recommendations for cpu fan for amd 1.2 ghz on msi k7t pro2a mobo

Taisol CGK742092, its very good and inexpensive. Try Nerdsbyte.com, you can also choose to upgrade the low profile Delta fan with 3 or 4 alternatives if you can stand the noise, they even have the bad mama Delta 37cfm.
 
I just bought an Alpha PAL6035, and it has my Duron 800@950 running in the neighborhood of 35 C at all times. It's a nice, quiet fan, too.
 
I just bought the FOP32-1 from nerdsbyte.com, the TaiSol is a great heatsink, but it wont fit without some modifications with a hacksaw.
 
I thought the Taisol heatsink doesn't fit the K7T Pro2-A board. I know I've seen many people say that in these forums so you better double check before you buy one. If it doesn't fit, go for the Alpha PAL6035.

Edit: SolTek just verified what i was saying.
 
I got the Taisol 742 and Pro2A yesterday and the heatsink hits toriod(copper wound thing) on the top right corner. I just broke the upper right fin off the heatsink and hacksawed the corner(just a little) off then took a file to smooth it out. It fits fine now without hitting, I'm gonna shave it down a hair more today just to be safe, then I'm gonna lap the bottom cause it could be smoother. It only took about 10 mins. to get it to fit and I think its worth it for such a good and quiet cooler. I dont have my CPU yet but I doubt altering it will make any difference, cooling wise. Plus its cool to be able to say that you modded your heatsink!!!
 
I had to perform similar surgery with my Taisol 742, but I used a large file to grind away what I didn't need.
 
I need to make a decision on a cpu cooling device for a Duron 600 or 650 on a MSI K7TPro2-A. I've checked overclockers.com and I really don't want to go so exotic as customized cases with portals on the top and side if I can avoid it.

Simply put, can I overclock a Duron 600 to maybe 900 with just a simple device like the Alpha PAL6035 and stop there? I just want a cooling device that works and isn't loud and end the search.

Also, if later I want to upgrade the cpu, can I remove the device and reuse it on the new cpu?

Furthermore, when I phone some of these online pc hardware outlets can I ask for a blue Duron. How can I maximize my chance to get a Duron that's not locked or a bad vintage?

Lastly, please recommend a good case for this setup; probably 1 harddrive, a cdrom or dvd. I'll probably use any cd writer I buy in my current, older system.

On a personal note, I really respect how so many of you are giving of your time to help others. Happy holidays to you all!
