I'm after something high performance to cool a 3000XP Barton, sound isn't too important, I'd take cooling over dB(A) at the moment :ermm:
Only specs are Socket A, high performance, UK delivery
*Anyone who recommends a Gigabyte fan will be placed under citizens bannage :ermm:
i would recommend the Coolermaster Aero 7, but i don't think they make them anymore, you could try eBay
i just have a stock heatsink with and 80mm fan adapter on top, it's not really extreme cooling, but it is quiter than the standard fan and about 8-10c cooler, and it cost me about a £1 from Ebuyer
If you're not going to overclock: coolermaster
yeah no overclocking, i was thinking about the Coolermaster Vortex Dream 7, though the other suggestions now sound tempting :ermm:
Thermaltake?

Most of the Socket A's from Coolermaster seem to be a bit girly, Noise isn't a problem and I don't want one with a special design that sends air in directions you don't want air going in :ermm:

we shall soon see :ermm:
Please keep us informed.
Did you get the full retail CPU (i.e., w/ heatsink)?
If so, some before and after temp readings would be interesting.
C'mon, turn Scully into the media whore that Sprocket has become.
It's the full retail kit, But I still need a Graphics card and RAM before a POST test can even be done, proper temp readings will be a few months away yet depending on cash flow :ermm: Scully can be a harsh mistress at times, but it only makes things hawter :naughty:
If it's the retail package then it contains a CPU cooler. You said that you weren't overclocking so why not use that?
Pride :snooty: The case is Coolermaster, the case fans are Coolermaster - just to be awkward really :unsure:
The stock cooler is usually made by Coolermaster.
