What are you using to Cool the AMD64??

[hokahknow]

What is everyone using to cool their new AMD 64 CPUs (754)????

What is the best choice for under $50???

What is quiet and cools the best (not for overclocking)????

Which is the choice to overclock that doesn't sound like a vacuum or spill water on my motherboard??

Fire away lets hear what people are using... reply with motherboard and Max/Min CPU temps??

If you aren't going to be overclocking, buy a retail chip...

I'm using an Alpha PAL8150 (pics). My temps aren't really relevant unless you plan to use the same motherboard that I do, since motherboards vary in calibration. Suffice it to say they're just fine, even with a quiet fan If you aren't going to OC then a stock retail one might be just the ticket, particularly if you enable Cool 'n Quiet.

I have a Zalman AlCu 7000 on low mode 1400RPM and 1 120mm case fan on low mode 1300 RPM in my Antec P160. My temps never go above 58C in full load. Idle temps with Cool & Quiet are 35C, and the nice thing is I can barely hear my comp

This is what my friend just got fx53 939 chip BUt if thats not enough look what he cools it with Cooler. I forget the name of the case but there is a refrigerent compressor in there. If thats not enough he just had a copper tube machined to hold liquid nitrogen. My friend needs overclockers anon.

Thermalright SLK 948U is best A64 heatsink atm, then its up to your preference for performance/noise as to which fan you chose to go with it.

There is a new Thermalright Heatsink coming out for the A64 with Heatpipes (like the SP-97) at the end of the month.

It's very good for stock no doubt, and the Shin-etsu G751 pad on it is great. The only minus is if his ambient and case temps are a bit warm given it's summer time, when the system is under heavy use the warm supply air may cause the fan to ramp up and it's far from quiet if this happens.
