I'm currently looking to replace my stock heatsink/fan with one a bit more powerful. anyone have any ideas into which one i should get? ive got a AMD Xp 2000+, which currently idle's at 57c, system temp is usually around 25c though.
I've been looking at the Coolermaster CP5-8JD1F-0L, from here
Is that good for the price? Or does anyone know any better ones at a similar price.
Thanks in Advance!
Edit Just seen This One is it any better? thnx!
The Aero 7 in your second link is better. There is also a copper one just like it Aero 7+.

i disrecommend the Aero 7+ Lite, it gives fairly good cooling, but its really loud - it is fairly cheap though
I really like this one but it's expensive:

I tried going to the Coolermaster web site. About the only think that worked was a picture of a Jet plane, with accompanying loud roar followed by REALLY annoying music - I wonder if this is indicative of their products. :lol:
Seriously though, their web site (when I got it to work) conspicuously omits noise levels for the Aero 7 series, although it includes them for some of the other models, for example the new Jet 7 at 21-41db, which is still a little noisy at full speed.
I use this, which is a little more expensive, but keeps my cpu (XP2400+) at 35C under load.
does anyone know any good coolers excpet the ones that i pointed out, i dont want to spend that much though! (£15 max)
@ lynx is the one got load? by the way ccl computers is well near my house!
@ Virtualbody1234, ive seen the copper version of the aero 7+, i can get it for £20, is it good and is that a good price?
thanks again!

There's one UK site that has some options, but its rather limited than what I use.
I'm not sure what you are asking here, but that temp is after running the cpu flat out for about half an hour.Quote:

Current price for that cooler is £14.10 including vat. If it's local then you can call in and get it, save the P&P. If you phone up and order it, you don't have to wait while they pick it from the warehouse.

i ment noisy! sorry im a useless speller!
ive just realised the aero 7/7+ will not fit on to my motherboard! :( , and dont think the one u pointed out lynx will either because there sum diode type things about 7.5cm away from the center of the cpu, (its a ga-7va by the way) stupid gigabyte!
That akasa cooler is less than 28db, so it's fairly quiet.
I've had a look at the layout of the gigabyte ga-7va board and I can't see any reason why there shoud be a problem fitting that cooler either. At the base, it is the same size as a 6cm cooler, but gets larger after it has cleared any obstructions.
my current 7 x 7cm heatsink just fits there some room, but one of the diodes cames fairly close.
@ lynx do u mean 60 x 60?]
Edit: looking at the motherboad i realised a cooler 80 x 60 could fit! but a 80 x 80 i would have no chance with!
I use a thermaltake volcanoe 9 and see pretty good results on my XP2200+ CPU which is overclocked to about 1960 mhz from 1800.
Yes, at the base it is 60x60, I have the same problem with caps next to the processor, and it fits without any problem.
that's the shit right there :lol:Quote:

i'm even more confused with which cooler to get now! :huh:

A Further Stupid Question! Should The Fan Be Blowing Air To Or Away From The CPU?
it sucks the hot air from the heatsink actuallyQuote:

So that will mean air shud be blowing away from the heatsink? and if you should be able to feel the air?

That's not what I have seen.
I have installed a lot of coolers. They blow towards the heatsink.
I have even tried to experiment with this. If you turn the fan around to suck you will see that it is not as efficient.
thnx Virtualbody1234, dat means mine is the ryt way!
actually i've never checked before, i just guessed
