I have a spare Athlon XP 2400+ with a MSI KM4M board - and they are still working correctly.

The thing is, I wanna cool it to until below 50 degrees - cause my stock cooling is extremely hot - until 50~65 celcius.

So which one do you recommend for these cooling sets? I don't know - but do stores in Low Yat still sell Thermalright SI-97 and the Artic Ceramique? How much is the price? and have anyone um... tried these combinations before?

arctic ceramic? why bother? Go for arctic silver instead. SI97 I think there's a few bulkers out there who can order for you. But Socket 7 cooling solutions nowadays are roughly the same. Just get a high cfm fan to match with your heatsink choice

i think robyn got SI-97A..try check at thier pricelist

where where??? i wan!!! where's the pricelist? i wan! i wan!!!

Check out at Overclocker's Paradise.
Si-97A is recommended, since it can be used on S939 later on in future, I'm using one now btw

can refer to . www.lowyat.net

there will be a price list section on the left column,


GOOd LucK

yes..SI-97A is a good hsf..price around RM 190..and it can use s939

wow...so expensive wan... anybody selling 2nd hand cheap?

good thing never cheap

no need la waste money on all of this
i just got 2nd hand thermalright slk900u for 70 bucks
enough to cool my processor at 2.3ghz load is around 55 once oced with 1.7volts

it should be more than enouhg for you. I think someone is selling one here too for 70 plus a noisy as hell fan
go scout around ..if im not mistaken its beatle larvee or something

i agree with the frying fox.

The SLK900 U or A

works good enough for ATHLON XP

I think noobie is selling a brand new one. ...

GET A GOOD FAN !!.... WAla....

If not why dont try WaterCooling ?

for buying any product with heatpipe.
plz becareful to check and ensure each heatpipe works(transfer heat).

it isn't that get from bulk means bad.
but, preferable from local shop, instead when facing any rma issue, is promisable.

then how to check if each of the heatpipes are tranfering heat?

yeah,

is there a way to check wether each of the heatpipes from the heatsink works ??

if the temperature shoots up or not much changes,
there are problems with the heatpipe.

I manage to get 8degree cooler proc after using a Si-97A, pairing it with a lower noise fan.

8 degree drop is very good enuf

erm 8c drop on air cooling is GOOD..

i only dropped to 10c on WAterCooling..

only the difference of 2c between air and water

thinking of building an Air Cooling RIG soon....

Thermalright is definitely on the list

i presume the best hsf would be thermalright SI-97A for amd barton/socket a?
wut fan is recommended to be paired with the hsf since it doesn't come with 1

thermaltake 9cm smart fan

or other oem/industrial fan such as NMB, Nidec, Delta, etc...

but Thermalright themselves recommended Panaflo if I'm not mistaken

anyway can a TT Big Typhoon be used for amd 2500+ barton?
