If you're not going to OC, the stock fan is fine. If you got an OEM, then the FOP32 is a great HSF that can be had for only $23 shipped (free shipping, don't know how long they'll be doing it).

I agree. If you are not overclocking, the stock HSF should be fine. If you want something else, the FOP32 seems the way to go. Here is a link where they were reviewing another type HSF. It has some good comparisons including the FOP32.

can you tell us all why you aren't going to oc your duron? No switches on your a7v?

Guys... getting heatsinks such as FOP32 may just be the ticket for Ryan to think about overclocking. Who wouldn't want to find out how much their CPU can do after installing a gigantic heatsink?? Knowing the fact that overlcoking can be done easily is just too tempting!

One thing I forgot to inform you about is the clip of the FOP32 isn't the most friendly one on the market, but for the price and performance it is pretty nice.

Also, even cheaper (and less user friendly), is the golden orb, you can get one for about 19, but I wouldn't recomend it. You could end up killing your new cpu with it. You can take a look at it here.Ë?

Are you cracking RC5 for the TEAM ANANDTECH? Your Duron at any speed would be a welcome addition!

The Vantec Socket A cooler is good and is available for around $15 + shipping at 2cooltek.com
