T-Birds cooling

[Turbo55]

Can someone recommend a really good T-bird cooling fan. Tell me about the Golden Orb, Coolmaster (where can I buy one?), or any other really good ones.

Thanks.

Definitely Alpha 6035 heatsink/fan combo. You can buy it @phamcomputer.com

I bought it from Thanh w/no problem. He'll also give you an Alpha thermal grease tube.

Golden Orb doesn't work well with your T-bird. Coolermaster is the retail fan/heatsink that comes w/the chip I think. I bought the Alpha and my system temp dropped quite a bit.

I have a T-Bird 700 with an Abit KT7-RAID as well. The mobo is awesome for tweaking both the cpu and memory and makes oc very easy. The problem I run into is that my heatsink isn't a very good one: its a Vantec Socket A and my pc runs hotter than I would like. Currently I'm running at (FSB 104)*7(mult)= 728. I can't change the multiplier b/c its locked. My pc runs at about 35 degrees C but after playing Quake for 1 hr it runs about 10 to 13 hotter. When I oc it to 770 it ran at about 53 C... too hot for my tastes.

I heard that the Alpha is a very good cooler but there is one newer one that might be better... ever heard of the HEDGEHOG 238M???? Its kind of expensive though.

Yea, I think Plyconhas them (HedgeHogs)... Kinda expensive= yes. Worth it= probably
Anyways, it's a slick site
