What HSF for XP2400+?

[JEDI]

I'm planning to buy the k7s5a pro/xp2400+ combo from Fry's for $89. but it doesnt come with a heatsink/fan.

what do u recommend? (just want a cheap hsf that does the job.)

THX

- Thermaltake Volcano 9
- Coolermaster X-Dream (HAC-V81)

Thermalright AX-7 @SVC is the bestbet for under $20 but I even have an SVC GC21 that cost $2 for the Fan and HS running 1.

$2 for a hsf? where you get it? link?

Thermalright SLK-800 will make for some really nice cooling that can be quiet too (if you toss on a Panaflo). Around $30.

If you'd like to save some $, the AX-7 by Thermalright is less money and almost as good as the SLK-800.

If you're really cheaping out, the SVC's (svcompucycle) GC68 (or whatever it was called) is good at about $6, but I wouldn't use it on a high-clocked system. It's a few degrees warmer than the AX-7.

Here but they are OOS

JEDI, you really should specify how you plan to operate the CPU and what your case cooling situation is. Those factors are crucial in determining how you should cool your CPU.

i have an SK7 which is pretty cheap for something all copper. Fits a little better than the AX7 on my board (that and the AX7 was out of stock at the time.

The GC21 says it's for up to XP1800+ (1.53ghz), and the 2400+ is 2.0ghz (about 30% more clock).

They have the GC69 at $5.50, but its predecessor (GC68) was only rated for up to XP1800+. I'm guessing that you'd be safer getting the Thermalright AX-7 heatsink at slightly under $20. If you don't like noise, (who does?) the AX-7 is a good solution too because once you toss on a $3 Panaflo fan, it's really quite quiet.

Basically, it may not be a good idea getting a HSF rated for XP1800+ for your 2400+.

5.50 + 4.35 shipping = 9.85.

maybe just pick up a hsf at Fry's?

How much does the sk-7 cost?

An Sk-6 for about $12 with a 70mm fan should cut it...

something with an "s" and a "k" in the name and made by thermalright. SK-6 to SLK-900; SK7 or SLK-700 probably most suitable, chuck on a fan with the rpm that suits you, low rpm for no or lowish-overclock, medium to high if you want to see how far you can push it 🙂. Actually can probably get fine cooling even with a low rpm pabst/panaflo with any of those heatsinks.
