CPU cooler
 

What doi you guys think is the best CPU heatsink for a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton? This is for a freind who is looking to overclock it but needs to get a new heatsink and fan since hes runnign stock

if noise is a concern then look at something like the TT silent boost.
if noise isnt a problem then a thermalright slk900 (i think) with a high speed fan

For the best ya'd have to look at the Thermalright SLK-900A, SLK-947U, SP-94 or SP97 but ya will have to buy a decent fan to fit.
For a good budget one look to the Thermaltake Volcano 7+, Volcano 12 or POLO735.

Could you give me a link to a decent fan and one of the thermalright ones.

I don't know what the absolute best one would be, but I love my Tt Silent Boost

I just got one of these for my K8 silent boost, as the 27CFM fan on it just isn't enough. If those specs are true (I'll see on tuesday), that'd make one heck of an upgrade, and a great fan for a thermalright heatsink user who doesn't want his ears blown away by a tornado :thumb:
