I need a good cooler for my CPU


Ok i have this celeron 2.4 ghz and it can only go up to 2.65 ghz because it overheats with anything faster and crashes, now i know i can get this thing to go 3 or more i just need a good heatsink(i'll also be useing this with the prescott come feb or whenever the roadmap pricecuts are coming), I know i need an all copper one but i can't decide what to get, i found a place that has Thermaltake spark 7+'s for $18 good HS but the Zalman that has the wierd radial fin thing is suposadly better, i was wondering what you guys though (it can't be more than 30$ preferably no more than 25 i nee to buy CC and that prescot later)

I bought the volcano 7+ CPU cooler. Its a beast, 3 speed settings. I wouldnt suggest it though if you want a quiet one. I run mine on low all the time and it still cools really well, the bottom of the heat sink hardly even gets warm during even intense games. It also comes with connecters for pentium / athlon setups.

Check the bottom of this page for P4 air cooling bench's.

http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/

Anything truly top of the line heavy duty copper is going to be $40-$50 usually. Then $10-$15 for fan, and $5 for some AS5 or Ceramique, then shipping. So can hit $75 pretty fast. You can sometimes find some good deals and sales on them though. Last week I think HSF had SLK-800u's for $25.

You can try heatsinkstore.com and heatsinkfactory.com.

You can also get it with a 92mm Panaflo M1A for $6 which an excellent fan, can be really quiet or really loud depending on how much you volt it.
