The best CPU fan/hs

[Motero]

What's the best CPU fan/hs for a 1 ghz thunderbird and where can I buy it? I don't plan on overclocking. I just want to be safe.

I also would like to know the best thermal stuff to put on the CPU and where to buy that at.

Thanks for the help!

taisol CGK742092 is the one you should get. it has very good performance plus it's quiet.

absolute best is the new swiftech 462.

Next would be a well-made hedgehog.

I just looked at the specs for Swiftech 462 and 80mm fan design looks awesome, but the price is way too high ($62 for bare heatsink).

I just placed a 80mm Adda fan over my crappy ChromeOrb and saw a drop of 10C! The temps were measured using both a probe and the MB onboard sensor and the temps are always within 1 degree.

Gee...everyone has a different answer. Ok...then how much do they cost and where can I get them? Do they come with the thermal stuff for the processor?

I like my Alpha PAL6035. It's an excellent performer and is well designed. Pick it up at www.pchertz.com. I got a pre-assembled package that has the Sanyo Denki fan, which is EXTREMLY quiet. It's up to you! Mine was like $40, but the package is retail and comes with everything you need, including pads, manual, Thermal Grease, etc. It's a nice deal.
