u can get si97a..nice hsf for socket A

Thermatake Pipe101 is no bad...

yeah..and value for money also

get TT Silent Tower, tower designs are the best when it comes to heat transfer

but not all K7 mobo hve hole...,

so is better buy the stock design cooling 1...

the classic Thermalright SP-97

if don't want bolt thru type... Thermalright SLK-800A or SLK900U will do

erm...

i wud go for the sp 97

er..i think thermalright already stop the producing of SP 97...(correct me if i'm wrong )

so the better wan is from thermalright sp97? issit bolt thru mobo wan or juz clip?

i think SI-97A can beat sp 97..

is a replacement model for sp97 rite? but wut is the different between si-97 with si-97a? issit oni different in the base for 1 tat oni for k7 and another for k7 and k8?

yes..si-97A can be use with K8..for future upgrading

I prefer tower type of heatpipe. I have TT Silent Tower (with aluminium fins), TT Copper Tower (with cooper fins) and Ninja.

The advantage of tower is you can build your own "hot wind" tunnel to send the hot air coming out of tower directly to outside the casing.

yes..with tower hsf we can control the air flow..but the main prob is the size..
tower hsf usually hav very big size..so it will hav compatibalty issue there..

i always like the tower type HSF,

but i am always afraid that it will fall and break my Mobo....

hehe...

another one wud be the SLK-800A

is this wan a heatpipe? or juz plain copper hsf?

You can also built an air-duct if you're using those "normal" HSF's.
Cut a 92MM hole on your case where your processor is. Its best to be directly aligned. Then take a plastic cup or paper cup and put the cup to lead the hot air out.
To fasten it, you can either use cellotape or silicone glue.

You can either choose to have a fan or not to, it's okay.
Of course with a fan ,it's got better efficency la, however it's not compulsary.

Hardly, it wouldn't break usually. It' usually heavy on the base and so far, i've NEEVER heard of a single case where the mobo breaks.
Silicon isn't weak stuff ya know...
